Fire Control
Did Ribs on Sat. It was windy, almost right into the fire box. Had no problem with controlling the heat. Today, It's calm and I'm doing a chuck. Can't seem to keep the heat up, (don't even think it).
I'm using a lot more charcoal than I did before, any suggestions? BTW I'n running the BD wide open.

Did you move your coals/sticks close to the smoker opening/baffle? I have found that can make a huge difference!

Put a stick on it, that seems to help some.

You will get twice the heat from a wood fire than from a charcoal fire or wood/charcoal fire.

Could be a bad batch of charcoal. Happens sometimes. The charcoal is harder to burn and the temps never get very high.
