Are you using a terracotta saucer as a heatsink? If you try it without it first. If you arent, definitely put bigger holes into the bottom.

A fire ring helps, a lot better air flow.

My buddy was using a pie pan in his and said he couldn't get temps above 175. Once he removed the pie pan his temps shot up.

No saucer, the entire bottom is cut out. We're using SJSs so there is an empty chicken can over the bottom vent. Probably needs more holes for better airflow and a charcoal ring.

Ok so here is what I noticed. This is a small bbq so air flow is crucial. I made a fire ring but the trick is to make is a little smaller that the bottom grate. So air can flow around the coals. If the coals cover the bottom it blocks air flow and the fire stays very low. Here is what I did. for regular cooking I use an l bracket I made from a weber charcole basket holder. now I have no problem hitting any temp I want.

My Version
Not as tall as the Tamale pot but it works for me.
Made from an old canner pot from a tag sale, a 12" cast aluminum pan from the side of the road for a heat sink, a cut down one pound coffee can for an intake baffle and the usual other parts. The flat pan on the table is a 12" wear ever pizza pan from GW for camping Pizzas. One Weber charcoal rail completes the "Camper" Grill / Smoker Ensemble and all of the parts store in the canning pot. If I remove the heat sink and second rack, or the top rack, I can just fit an old small legless Dutch oven that I have, on the bottom for biscuits, Beans, stew etc. With the vents wide open it seems to like 375 deg. It's amazing how little charcoal these things actually use. |

Had just flat black on my mini, but then this weekend a buddy wanted to do some a design on it, and he made a hotrod flame template and shot some gloss. I love the way it came out!
