Mop:[p]The secret is to let the temperature rise slowly to the desired temperature. Once you overshoot, it will take a while to let the temperature settle back down.[p]I assume you are getting a tight fit when the dome is closed and air leakage is not the culprit?

Mop,
You can still get it stabilized. Close bottom vent to 1/16, and daisy to a crack. It'll come down slowly, and the higher temps won't hurt your butt. Once you get past 260, you'll probably need to tap the vents back open a tad t keep things goin.
Cheers

Yes, I didn`t let the cooker get past 325º after lighting it..
I have it down to 250º right now actually....
I hope it doesn`t go out overnight!
It`s 10:00 pm here now and I`ll be up till 12:00 or so, that gives me time to get it steady...no wind tonight..just cold![p]Roger

Mop,
By your reponse to djm5x9 you are letting the EGG get to hot before starting to close the vents. Once the temp gets to about 150* start closing the vents to stabilize at 250*.
