The new to me Performer

Picked up this Weber off of Craigslist last week and have used it a few times.

Was planning on doing some ribs for my birthday next week but after a couple tests I'm having a hard time getting the temps down without using just 10 briquettes.
I did notice that the vents on the bottom stick up away from the inside of the kettle and figured that too much air is getting in. Am I right thinking that's the problem or will this thing just not run at 225 with 30-40 briquettes?

Ya know... the performer is my favorite. I hardly use my other grills. Nice score.

Fix them bottom vents up and you will be fine!

If you are still having problems with the temps, try blocking off one of the vents with foil, I have the same problem with my one touch 22.5, now its running like a champ.

I'll try that. Thanks for the advice.
