Closed up the intake and exhaust dampers lowed the fire basket all the way. Fire burned for two more hours to ashes. Not pleased.
Thank you for your feedback. Based on your description, it sounds like the Fire Strangler may not have been installed correctly.
For the Fire Strangler to effectively extinguish the fire, it cannot simply be laid on top of the firebox. The device must be slid into position over the firebox and underneath the firebox channel so that it locks securely in place and completely restricts airflow to the charcoal bed. This is what allows the unit to choke off the oxygen supply and extinguish the fire.
We recommend reviewing the product photos on our website, which show the Fire Strangler being slid into the proper position. When installed correctly, it should significantly reduce airflow and help preserve unburned charcoal for future cooks.
If you'd like, our customer service team would be happy to walk through the installation process with you and help ensure you're getting the intended performance from the product.
