Not a problem or complaint thread by any means.
I jumped in with a RT-700. Assembled it by myself and had a friend come over to stand it up and wheel it out back the next day. I did the 1 hr 400 degree burn and then dropped the temp to 225 to smoke some bacon for seasoning.
The ride from 400 to 225 seemed rather difficult. Opening the lid produced temperature spikes.
I'm a rookie for sure, but I'm curious. Are you better off turning the grill off and letting it cool down then restarting it or just setting the temperature lower and letting it do it's thing? Granted this is a odd scenario. With other grill mediums and even deep fryers I tend to cook items at required temps as they are reached as opposed to the other way around.
Thanks!
