	<h1>When to Open Your Grill&#8217;s Vents</h1>


<div id="intro">
Jamie Purviance, author and <a target="blank" href="http://www.weber.com/cookbook/waytogrill/">grillmaster</a>, keeps the lower vents of his charcoal grill open at all times. The top vents can be partially closed to reduce flare-ups or lower the temperature of the grill.

We just thought he knew his stuff. <a class="red" href="http://www.chow.com/stories/14/category">CHOW Tips</a> are the shared wisdom of our community. If you&#8217;ve figured out some piece of food, drink, or cooking wisdom that you&#8217;d like to share on video (and you can be in San Francisco), email <a href="mailto:Meredith.Arthur@chow.com">Meredith Arthur</a> and tell us what you&#8217;ve got in mind.</em></p>]]>
