Kettle Smoked Chicken...First Time!...PrON

I'm pretty new to smoking on a kettle, and have only used a fuse, so far. I was under the impression that the fuse is easier for temp control. Since I tried using a deep dish pizza pan as a heat diverter/grease catcher, I figured the fuse would burn around the edge, and it did. What I didn't figure on was how long it would take to approach cooking temp, and that the temp would start dropping halfway around the fuse. I still can't figure that one out. I'm wondering now if the pan is a bad idea.

Try without the diverter. just foil the middle of the charcoal grate so all of the air that comes in the bottom goes to the coals, not up to the food in the center.
Also, the kettle will hold temps like a champ with a bank of coals like I mentioned...especially for such a short cook. Oh, and even if the temp varies during the cook, it won't really matter.
