How do you keep an offset smoker at 225?

Chef's answer
Maintaining the Temperature in your offset meat smoker
  • Open up the dampers to allow more airflow if the fire is going out.
  • Add more fuel i.e. charcoal or wood.
  • Use a Charcoal Starter Wand on the fan setting to blow in clean hot air to build the fire back up.
  • Close off the dampers if the heat is running too high.
