Thanks Foam2 and olewarthog. I appreciate the pointers.
I'll start with 10 coals and shut down 2 of the intakes sooner. And even more importantly, now that I know I can completely shut off the intake (and not ruin the food), I'll give that a try if need-be.
Thanks again.
A few other notes:
Check for air leaks into the drum. Anywhere that air can get in is going to allow more oxygen in for burning and temp will be higher.
What do you recommend to check for leaks? If I close off my intakes and exhaust, my fire goes out pretty fast. I'm under the assumption that means there are little air leaks in my setup.
Thanks
You should take that barrel to a antique store and sell it for enough to pay for a couple UDS's.
Ok guys here's my build
In case you guys are wondering where my name comes from, here's my project
My concern is this, barrel was burned out by a reconditioning company that burns it out in a furnace, I washed it out with soap and a Brillo pad. You guys think I'm good for seasoning?
