Here is my CoalBasket, I'm using a mix of Lump and KF and on top
I've placed 17 lit Briquettes. This is my typical starting procedure.

Guys I am having the hardest time keeping the temps low in my UDS. I have a weber lid that I had to beat the lip flat and reshape around the barrel top, but I am not sure if that is the problem. The reason I say that is because I can close all intakes and the fire chokes out in about an hour or two.
Could it be that I am not burning my lump correctly? I think I may be using too much in the charcoal starter and then spreading it out too much as well. What I do is take about a half a chimney of lump, get it red, then spread on top of my lump already in the UDS. Any advice?
Here are some pics of my build:
