Been dickering with the various forms seen on the reducing the intake on the Bubba Keg Grill.
My last attempt (foil notched out behind ) on the intake screen left too many leaks...
Wound up with doing an external tape job (Norco mod)
Spent the day yesterday on an empty burn determining the vent/exhaust positions...
finally found the magic combination... its personality. Its very tempermental...
and requires gentles nudges on intake and exhaust settings.
Burned over 12 hours on a partial load RO lump.
On the upper exhaust... found my magic number... "3". By just nudging the exhaust one way
or another... about the width of a nickel one way or another... will throw the temp 20-30 degrees
on both sides of 230 degrees.
With the vent turned nearly all the way down... the two black lines shows the actual range
between 225-260 degrees. The slot is approx. 1/4" x 3/4" exposed.
After that... leaves today's smoke (at the 3 hour mark)... chuckies with Bovine Bold!!!
