I haven't touched it for 10 1/2 hours and Voilà! I have a good burning fire and a pile of ash. I figure it burned about 8 lbs of Kingsford in that time holding a steady 225 all night.
Looks very promising. What's the open spacing in the grate?
I've been planning on building a replacement grate with 3/4" spacing instead of 1/2", but instead of rebar, I think I'm going to try 1/2" angle iron (points up.)
