Controlling Temperature
Controlling the temperature of your grill is all about controlling the air flow to the fire. MORE AIR =
MORE HEAT. LESS AIR = LESS HEAT. By opening and closing the top and side dampers, you can
easily control the temperature of your grill. The amount of charcoal used when grilling can also greatly
impact your ability to control temperature. Dampers may need to be adjusted during the cook to account
for changes in weather like wind or to accommodate for more or less fuel. When first learning how to
operate your grill, always use the same amount of charcoal to best learn your grill’s damper control.
