Just introducing myself after lurking a few months...got too jealous of my father in law and his fantastic meals so after a few years of watching this I broke down and rewarded myself with a LBGE, nice table and nice array of eggsessories to get started. Probably not much for most of you but I work 60+hrs/wk and it only took me about 3 weeks to burn a bag of lump already...thats a lot of cooking for me. I wasn't aware that I would need to also purchase a deep freezer to store all the meat that we have...and BTW..its only me and my wife....so food overload! Off to a good start so far with some chickens, a great 12lb turkey, did some ribs and wings yesterday to welcome the new year. Look forward to learning and future discussions..and of course..here are some pics!

Welcome, it looks like you are off to a good start.
Not to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol is a solution...

Thanks...for the welcomes..I'm in Charlotte (Go Panthers!!) So quick question...when I did the ribs/wings this weekend, I virtually started with a fresh fire box and loaded it almost to the top, plus cleaned out the ash, however, most of the lump I used was small pieces from the bottom of the bag...is this why I couldn't get the temp above 300 no matter how wide open I let it go? I had the bottom vent 2/3rds open and the big portion of the daisy wheel open 1/3rd and it wouldn't rise for anything...guess it was good I didn't need it to. I think it has to do with the small pieces not getting great air if I had to guess...no worries as I picked up 2 fresh bags today.

You could be right. Anything under 350 is almost always less than a 3/4 inch bottom vent opening and the top vent a 1/4 inch open. I have an XL. Good luck let us know if bigger lump helps?XL BGE; Medium BGE; L BGE

Cam, try a wiggle stick through the lower vents to poke through those clogged holes for better airflow, is my guess. Welcome Cam and Vchelf.

Small lump always plugs the holes on the grate for me. I save the small lump for when I open a new bag and place it on top of the large new lump. When the airflow is restricted with the small lump higher temperatures are very difficult to achieve.Franklin, TN Medium and large Green Egg
