Keep that bottom vent closed to get your fire to spread for even grilling.

Yep-and the last time I went to fully shut the bottom vent (and the LBGE dome open-a key piece of the even grilling set-up) I had quite an event given the top-heavy nature of the rig. Most expensive paella cook I have had and hopefully will never experience again. A Humpty-Dumpty event but nailed the cook on the SBGE-audibles were well in play. FWIW-
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint. -

Good to see. My Dad played tuba for about 50 years.theyolksonyou said:It’s the annual Tuba Christmas in the ATL. 150 or so tubas of all shapes and sizes from all around come together and practice for an hour, then put on a concert. My sons third yr participating.

I never took it up (long digression risk here about pressure of expectation and freedom of choice as the youngest child...)
He managed to 'upskill' my son for a one-off contribution as the brass section for a school show. That made all three of us happy.
Perhaps if he had explained how proud you feel watching your children do something I might have given it a go.Other girls may try to take me away

I'd really like to try those; when my Hatch chile is roasted, its blasted with very high, direct heat and done in a minute or two. I'll bet these have a totally different texture.lkapigian said:15 hours in still holding 150 the Pablano becoming Chili Ancho the Jalapenos, Chipotle

@thetrim you’re going to love that thing.You may have gone overboard with the sanding
initial sanding to smoothen the surface should have been adequate. #1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
The area I live in is subject to bad inversions in the wintertime; if the air isn't moving, and its cold enough, all the pollution just collects between the mountains.
This is from my driveway, not Mumbai or Beijing; imagine you guys in SLC are experiencing the same...

Just stepping out the door reeks of auto exhaust, and today's the worst I've seen since I moved here in '95. Was planning on grilling hamburgers on the Egg today, probably shouldn't. Ugh.
