I can't seem to get the temperature to go under 310. I have the top closed and the vents barely open. The bottom vent is barely open too. I was trying to get 250-275.[p]Also, is there a search feature on the forum page?

    Sandy,
    It takes less than you can believe. As a newbie, I was also always having too much air/temp.
    The bottom vent should be open about a credit card or two width usually, with the top just cracked.
    "Archives" is the search function.

    Sandy,
    At the bottom of this page there is a Google Search you can use. It takes a while to cool down the egg. If you can you should start regulating the temp about 25/50 degrees before you reach your desired temperature. Hope this helps. John

    Sandy,[p]Start thinking about regulating your temp by sneaking up on it 50º or so before you hit your required temp/ I set the top vent in one spot and do all of my regulating with the lower vent. Tap it gently with your ash tool and i mean gently. You play with it a few times and you'll have it down pat.
