DAE realize their firebasket was choking the fire the whole time
I ran my offset for almost two years before I figured out my coal basket sat too close to the bottom grate in my old Oklahoma Joe, so ash piled up and smothered the coals. The tip-off was last month when I did a brisket at 225 and the temp kept diving every 40 minutes even with the vent wide open. Anyone else find out the hard way their fire needed more air gap?

In my experience the basket height wasn't the issue, it was the ash buildup itself, so I just started dumping the pan every cook.
