Do you close the vents on a Weber when cooking?
The air vents control the amount of air let into your barbecue, which in turn controls the temperature: the more air entering the barbecue, the hotter it becomes. Most Weber barbecues have vents on both the lid and the bottom bowl. If you are a beginner, leave both the top and bottom vents fully open.
