Definitely don't want to use water in it, I switched to cooking hot and fast. It does fine if I put water in it and run 225. The temps even out.forty_creek wrote:metimes we have to close the stack down

1. I wonder how long you let it run before establishing this is the way it is?
2. What did you test these temps with?
3. Have you done the biscuit test?
4. Some dims on the FB and stack and air intakes without the GURU?
5. How did you set this fire up?
6. Sometimes we have to close the stack down a bit to hold the temp in the cc.
Don't loose heart! we may just have to learn how to use it correctly.

I am interested in your solution. Are you saying there is now no water pan or deflector plate?mheath wrote:I figured it out! The water pan was either too big or too close to the firebox. I cut it out and it works great now!
Could you please share what the current setup is? Cause if you cut it out than you end up with a grill more or less. Thanks.mheath wrote:I figured it out! The water pan was either too big or too close to the firebox. I cut it out and it works great now!
