Optimal capacity

When you suddenly place a large amount of meat on the grill, the temperature will drop and you can allow a bit more air to come in. Make small adjustments to the top vent, leave the lower vent alone, and try not to overcompensate.

The food itself acts as a heat shield. Because the temperature decreases drastically, the food may stick to the grid. We advise you to always leave one-third of the grid empty. This aligns nicely with the use of hot spots and the triangle. A triangle of hot spots always leaves a significant part of the grid relatively cold.
