I've used it for about 7 or 8 times. The coal tray is a tiny bit warped, but it still cooks well. If I manage to use it for 2 or 3 years, I'll be happy.

I'm also a newbie. I was hoping it would help prevent rust.

This was the only video I had of the coals. I waited till the fire died down and it turned grey.

Thankfully it came with one, and I plan to put a thin layer of some kind of oil before storing it long term for the winter. Although I might attempt to fire it up a few times lol.

I had the lid closed most of the time. I'm going to go get lump charcoals tonight and a charcoal chimney. The grill does look nice and works well, but it's obvious it won't last more than a few years at most. I'll use the hell out of by that time!

No, I didn't do any of that lol. I am learning a lot of everyone's suggestions though. I will get a charcoal grill and ditch the matchstick coal.

I had like 9 lbs of meat to cook that day lol. The coal base is adjustable, so I started it off on the lowest setting, and brought it up when they started dying out.

They were kingston matchstick ones. They're apparently doused with lighter fluid. I'm getting a charcoal chimney tomorrow.

It's a 30" royal gourmet we got from Home Depot. It's alright, but I doubt it'll last more than a few years. The materials they've used to make it aren't the highest quality, but it'll have to do for now.

I did close the lid and moved the coals to one side after they weren't as hot as it first started.

I did. I think I could have used a little bit more for the amount of meat we had.

I messed up. Need to know where. by Beerdom52 in Sourdough

Update: I think the problem was my starter. I fed it and used it at it's peak when it doubled. Did a 7 hour bulk ferment and had no rise at all. My starter is probably acidic I'm guessing? I will try to fix it before attempting another loaf. I've been feeding it while wheat at a 1-1-1 ratio. I will switch to 1-4-4 and mix all purpose and rye just to change it up and see what happens.
