My thoughts off the bat is try 250. I find 250 easy to maintain.

I'm going with air flow. More specifically, your charcoal grate is getting clogged with ash.Packerland, Wisconsin

I'm going with air flow. More specifically, your charcoal grate is getting clogged with ash.
The key to success is as mentioned above; air-flow. Of course, the higher the desired dome temp means the greater the air-flow so the easier for the BGE to accommodate (to a high end point). When you are running with low dome temps you are very susceptible to minor changes in the air through the BGE to manage fire volume. Any hiccups will have a major impact.

Thanks guys!
