SMOKE BREAK: Low and slow includes you

012

It’s really easy to freak out when you notice temperature inconsistencies. But if you get stressed, you may panic and over correct the situation, which will cause a cycle of fixes that impacts the quality.

Stay calm and apply the KISS Principle – Keep it Simple Stupid.

Start with the smallest response, then wait and see what happens. Then adjust a little more if needed.

If your temperature spiked, try closing the vent a little more – don’t close it all the way or you’ll choke the flame.

And avoid opening the top too often, too, or you’ll lose heat, smoke, and moisture.

Stay focused and patient.

This is supposed to be enjoyable.
