My major concern about this grill was a long lo 'n slow cook. Talked with the Char-Broil folks - they told me to try the c-ring you are doing. Haven't had much luck. But as a grill - still liking it.

Yeah, I got the PBC fired up to finish the cook.  As a grill, it is far better than a Weber. As a smoker..it sucks. >:(

Smoke, that is a big picnic!  Must've been a huge hog.   I see you chose to leave the skin on.

Not sure how to set the vent..for lower temps the vent needs to be wide open..gonna play around with this during the cook

If it's the same principle as a Weber Kettle, you should close the vent down to just a crack for lower temps, so there's less air flowing through to feed the fire. And if there's a bottom vent, close it down to just a crack as well.

They actually call for less heat with the grill ventall the way open, but with set intake holes it does not seem to work that way.............

Did you REALLY read the "instructions"?

The video I watched said they got about 7 hours or more, if I recall rightly.

Send that thing over here and lemme give it a go...

The Kettleman is different than the Weber - it has open vents all around the lower part and a BIG adjustable vent on top. Seems to be a different way to control temps. I am sure with some experimentation and discussion, I could figure out how to do low and slow on this cooker... But, honestly, with the CB smoker, Weber Performer, and CB 500X, I don't need this to be a smoker - it IS a kick butt grill and works well at that - so, I am happy.
