Set up another snake in my OTP. Gonna add beans and transfer at 140°.
Ah, so this raises a good question. Did you have a pan of water (hot water) in your grill? I think I have only done one smoke without a water pan and I had problems getting to temp. That might be the problem.
Also what snake configuration are you using? I'd think a 3X2 might be easier to maintain at 300 than a 2x2. My friend that smokes at higher heat has an egg, and an ATC so he just sets it and forgets it. I've never tried a hot smoke on my kettles, but would definitely go 3X2 instead of 2X2. Always easier to pull some coals out than to add some in.
