I have done EVERYTHING right. I have followed every rule and inspiration and i can never ever get TBS. I have been billowing white smoke on my UDS for 45 minutes now...
temp is 60* and overcast. Slight small wind. no rain
I started with a clean, new bag of fuel.
Poured it into the basket and berried my chunks on the side of the basket about 1 layer deep. in the photo, one chunk is in the middle, but i moved it more to the outside.
Lit 20-25 coals until BRIGHT red and ashed over.
Poured all the lit smack in the center of the unlit charcoal. The edges of the wood were somewhat touching the coals.
It has been at 230* for 30 minutes now with no TBS what so ever.
Opened the lid about half an inch to get some more air since i live at exactly 4505 ft. Temp did not jump at all. stayed at 230 the entire time lid was cracked. thats a good sign. closed lid after 5 minutes and still white smoke..
I am cursed by the smoke demons!!!
