Been needing a new charcoal grill because propane just doesn’t cut it. You guys convinced me to use my credit card rewards to get a Master Touch 26 kettle. Got here about 30 minutes ago and I just lit coals to do my burn off. Thinking I’m going to smoke some chicken drums later 🍻

Hell yeah. Mine served me well for decades. I applaud you for staying away from gas and the male easy bake ovens (pellet grills).
open bottom vents
One thing you might want to do is to move the lever that controls the bottom vents / ash removal blade to the position where the vents are *just* fully closed then take a Sharpie and mark a line on the aluminum ring at that position, then move the lever to where the vents are *just* fully open and mark another line at that spot. Now, when you are cooking, you will be able to get some sense of where your bottom vents are between “fully closed” and “fully open” without have to crawl on the bricks and look up at them. Why Weber doesn’t do this for you is a mystery to me …
