Temperature control

Unknown

I am having trouble maintaining a constant temperature. One problem I noticed is when I open the egg to baste the daisy wheel opens all the way and I have to readjust it when I close the egg. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Why are you basting? I've just started using my Egg, but it seems everything stays pretty moist without opening it up.

Turn the daisy wheel where the screw is at the front of the egg. When you open the lid they wont move.

Charles Burns,
Why are you opening the egg to baste? If you are looking, you are not cooking.[p]You are keeping your daisey too clean. Let it gunk up and it will stay where you put it.[p]Sammy

Charles Burns,[p] You have a couple questions on the new forum, but I am going to ask them here.[p]What are you basting? If you are mopping a brisket or pork butt it really isn't necessary. If you are basting a turkey that is different, but even then you don't need to be opening the egg all that often.[p]Line up the screws so that they are in straight line with the handle and the hinges.[p]
