OK, I did some chicken thighs tonight and I started my fire with the BGE starters. As soon as they burned out I closed the dome and watched the temp. get close to 350. I immediately put the daisy wheel on and I closed my bottom vent to about 1 1/2 inches. My daisy wheel remained opened and I was able to hold the temp. at 350. However, there was a lot of smoke, especially when I opened the dome. Is this from the nearby lump coals trying to catch on fire? The smoke was so much that my wife did not enjoy sitting outside near the BGE. Is this smoke normal? Should I have made a Lava of my coals and then bring the temp. down and would this produce less smoke?
