-15F this morning in Vermont, coldest since 2023 or 2022. Not a very good skiing winter but GREAT for ice sports. Our local lake has a 5mile...
I only actively try to add air to bring the coals down if I am doing 8 hour reloads which for me means we have highs in the low teens and below...
Adding air is huge, took me a while to learn that one :doh: Helps the massive coaling during a cold spell and gives you a more consistent heat...
Hah, figured as much, I never really need it that hot but could probably get it there, I try for 550 and reload every 12 hours unless the high...
