I just got my new KK positioned on my deck and am having difficulty keeping the dome temp below 300 degrees. The lid seems to be sitting correctly; there is an even gap of about 3/16" along the interface between lid and body. I am not using a stoker, so I inserted a 8-32 screw into the opening in the polder port plug. The top damper was only open about 1/2 turn initially, and the draft door was closed, with the daisy wheel open about 3/16". After the temp passed 300, I closed the top damper and the daisy wheel. Three hours later the temp is 380.
I,ve seen posts where someone was having trouble geting over 300 degrees. It seems I have the opposite problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
