Also, I've never had issues with temp drops, but if you bank your coals and notice temperature drops, crack your lid just a tad. Other than banking your coaks, start up everything else as you normally would.

Would keeping the lid off for the startup help get temps high and keep em up there since the coals would be good and going when I put the chicken in?

Here's my lighting process: Fill basket full of coals (half full banked to one side for short cooks) Take out 36 and put in a weber mini chimney (36 helps me maintain 275°ish) Bury 2-3 wood chunks in the unlit coals and leave one extra wood chunk on top of unlit. Put coal basket with unlit coals into PBC. Light the 36 coals in chimney until 90% are glowing red and ashed over Pour hot coals over the unlit and wood chunk Wait about 10-30 sec for smoke to get going good and put lid on PBC. Go prepare food After food is prepared and assuming it's been a minimum of 15 minutes since placing lid on PBC I hang my meat. Usually the temperature is anywhere between 270-305° when I hang the meat. Within about 15-20 min I'm settled in at somewhere between 265-285. Edit: understand I monitor temps in my PBC with a probe thermometer. But I've done the process enough I probably wouldn't have to anymore. My OCD won't let me take the probe out though....lol

Thanks for the advice. I only have one probe and I usually use that for ITs but I'm gonna get the Maverick 733 next week so I'll monitor grill temps then. I'm gonna follow your startup procedure and let ya know how it works out for me.

In honor of this PBC thread hitting 100 pages I ordered a new Porcelain coated PBC to replace my old one! Well I actually wanted the new ash pan but saw where they had a drum and lid only to replace the old one.

I had to pick up the ash attachment, got delivered yesterday. I will give it a go this weekend and let you know what i think. I have been just dumping out the ashes once they were cool, but this seems easier if it works. I have no reason to believe that it would not work as I have been impressed with all of Noah's products so far!

Does the ash can now come with new PBC orders?

Thanks. I read that Noah preferred lighter fluid and I figured that most of the coals would start that way. That's why I wait for everything to get started good, When I didn't wait I had falling temps, below 245 in an hour to hour and a half. I'm going to try less than 40 coals to see what that does.

That's awesome Simco! I think you'll like your new porcelain coated one a little better. It just seems to be a tad more stable with temps..... I didn't realize we hit 100 pages until your post! ....TThis is a quickly growing thread for sure! We need more people to vote on the rating of this thread up in the top right corner where it shows the gold stars!

http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...&postcount=801 Only other thing that may help is using a paper clip opened up and placed on top of the barrel so when you put the lid on it leaves a slight gap. I'm wondering if the humidity in areas like yours requires the PBC to need more exhaust. The paperclip would give it just a bit more but not so much to cause the temp to spike.....at least in theory it sounds like it could work.

I ordered my ash catcher, received it and used it last night for a chicken/ribs cook. It is easy to use and to remove and clean. If a body was handy with a few tools one could be made fairly easily. I will try to post a photo and some measurements for those interested.

One other thing it does is allows you to keep drippings off the coals or minimize it if you want.
