Sorry if in wrong place, I knocked this together at the end of summer last year, we only have a small garden and had a large gas bbq, fed up of refilling bottles, only me a the wife so opted for somthing smaller.
Had this bottle in the garage when I moved in, gas company didn't seem i interested in having it back so it got recycled.
Anyway to the point, I used it once but it had an issue, when using with the lid down it chucks out slot of white smoke, it is not the paint burning off. I put it down to a lack of airflow to the coals and maybe the vent/exhaust to small. I have 4 slots cut out just bellow the grill the coals are on, it does need to be bellow and not above the coals does it?
Plan is to cut more air vents out and larger vent ontop?
Top vent
Lower vents
Cooking grille
Coals grille, air vents just under this
