If it wouldnt get hotter it sounds like poor air circulation? How raised are
the coals from the bottom of the firebox? Does that gap become full of ash
quickly? You might want to get a local metal shop to cut you a grate that
sits about an 1" higher than the existing one.
A tip I followed, and am glad I did, was to run the vents full open the
first year/summer. The idea is that would accelerate my understanding of
firetending in a offset. It worked, and the effort payed off.
