I have tried to run a snake a few times but have had trouble with my ash falling and blocking the vent on my one touch 22". Not really a problem if you slide the vent occasionally but running on autopilot its blocked twice on me. I'm going to try again but I was thinking about using a bowl with the daisy wheels. I think I will leave one wide open and start the snake where the ashes will drop next to the vent and wrap around dropping ash on the closed vents.
I tried running a 2×2 with a block of oak about every 8 briquettes snake last night on the one touch..... rock solid 4 hrs. 250° Went to bed at 12am got up this morning 5am with dew on top of the kettle.[emoji31] snake died about 2 hrs after I went to bed. I had the bottom vent open 1/4 -1/2... 2 out of three of the slots in the bowl were blocked with ash. Anyone have a preference? One touch vs daisy wheels.
I started the snake in the bottom right.
here's where it choked. This was before bed. In the morning...Two vents full of ash and no more fire.
