A lot of great tips already mentioned. Make sure you stay on top of the gasket condition. If the gasket is bad, you won’t be able to control temp at all. Do the dollar bill test all around with the lid closed. If the bill pulls out easily, either the gasket is bad or the bands need to be readjusted. A lot of youtube vid’s to walk you through it. Lunchman mentioned chasing temps. It will drive you crazy if you do it. For most cooks, if I’m somewhere between 275 and 300 then I’m happy. I use the Igrill2 to monitor grill temp and IT. It takes all the guesswork out. Great pick up, you’re going to love it!
