Royal Oak Ridge Briquettes? I’ve had no problem cracking 450+ with a single full chimney. I let them nearly ash over at the top though. I wait till the top briquettes are 1/4 to 1/2 ashed over then dump it. All vents wide open. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I use the thermoworks smoke for temp, it's off to the side just past the removable center grate so not all the way to the side. I do have the SnS plus but I shake that out each time i use it. I do end up re-using a very small amount of charcoal from the previous cook but it's never that much. Sent from my SM-G955U using Weber Kettle Club mobile app
I use the Marty bigger better basket mod and it can be very temperamental if there is any ash at all. I find it’s best to dump it completely...
