Thanks AdamG! I'll read through!

Thanks Smokin Monkey. I'm using big green egg charcoal, big lumpwood charcoal. Definitely not skimping on the quality or cost! I can get to 300 / 350 degrees but can't seem to get higher. Should I build up a bigger fire, or does that block the holes and so the air flow?

Hi everyone. I love the knowledge on this thread and hope you can help! I have an aldi egg but cannot seem to get it above 350 degrees....I want to get as hot as possible - 400 / 450 etc to sear steak that I've already cooked in the water bath but cannot get to that temperature....what am I doing wrong?! Thank you
