I'm using a hibatchi. The metal is very thin. I'm sure I'm losing plenty of heat. My buddy suggests adding a few bricks so as to help keep the heat.
I've had it up to 425 fahrenheit but it dropped after several minutes. I want as close to 800 fahrenheit for about 6 minutes.
Anyone getting better heat?
How?
I read an article about making charcoal in Europe. They would stand trees in a circle 30 feet high and 50 feet in diameter, cover it all in dirt and start a fire in the middle of it. The fire could burn for months at a time. Adjustments were made if the fire was too large/small. WOW
Did a pork roast the other day, delicious. Looking to experiment with flavored wood chips. 1 video I viewed suggests routing escaping gases back towards the coals. Suppose to increase the temp.
Unless you have a hurricane or twister going on, weather is no excuse. Hurricane force winds and extreme rain are the only dampers I have to think about before firing up the ol grill.
Good Luck,

ha, a hurricane party is just one more reason to light up the grill

The bricks won't make it hotter but they will retain a little heat, not a lot.
