Found some matches.
I'm struggling maintaining temp for longer cooks on my uds. I'm good for about 4 hours then the temp slowly drops and I can't seem to get it back steady. I've read the various threads and have tried everything. Went from KBB to stubs to red oak lump. Slightly better results with stubs and lump but still lose temp after awhile. Raised my basket to 3 1/2" high with 3 3/4 intakes at 1 1/2". Basket is expanded metal around Weber grate. Also running 2" exhaust. I load the basket pretty full, shake to settle the fuel in, light about 15 kbb when ashed I over I put them in the center. Run with 1 intake wide open gives about 260 degrees. An occasional shake/kick during the cook sometimes buys me a little more time. Opening the intakes buys a little time too but once I start need to keep opening more every half hour. Any other ideas to get longer steady temps? I'm now debating investing in a partyq or iq110. I'm envious of all the folks that set and forget their uds....
Thanks for any suggestions
