Low & Slow Temp Maintenance Tips Requested [32BBKK]

Recommended Posts

Basically everything I would have said about airflow has already been said, so I'll just add my name to the list of people who admire and appreciate the deep thought put into the KK firebox and vent design. It's just as easy to control the temperature 12 hours into a cook as it is 12 minutes into a cook.

 

What I will add is how I use the dual vents. I set the right hand dial to the medium circle upon startup and adjust the left hand dial and the top hat until I reach target temp. I like a smokey flavor, so the top hat is kept open under a 1/4 turn. I then adjust the right hand dial up or down a step or two throughout the cook. Wind, completion of the heat soak, the infamous stall, can all impact your target temps and the right hand dial provides a simple way to consistently manage the heat.
