I bought a little fan at Walmart for $2 and set it up to blow in the bottom grate after lighting. The grill get up to temp in about 1/3 the time.

Try using a leaf-blower

$100 dollar B&D leaf blower or $2 dollar hack. Hack!I've slow smoked and eaten so much pork, I'm legally recognized as being part swine - Chatsworth Ca.

Could also throw a cheapo chimney stack on top to increase the draft effect. But be careful, it gets very hot!!

I usually do it until it hits 250. It climbs on its own after that. I find it is a whole lot easier to raise the temp than lower it.

Maybe, but a lot of us probably already have the leaf blower in our garage. I know I do. It is very cool to see blue flames shooting out of the top -
