Yea have seen the snake method. Ok i must be doing something wrong cause mine does not get that hot. I just got a decent thermometer so will have better idea whats going on :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I did this other day but just browned it off after a sous vide bath. Temp was low took an hour but gave it a good smokey/char grill taste.

Just looking mate and believe me Im a noob at this but is your charcoal in the lower aluminium tray?
could be theyre not getting enough ventilation to get really hot.
I run mine on the grate or in baskets.
