Going to try to cook a brisket tonight. Got to cook it before it goes bad while I am off work. Here is the weather forcast for my area tonight:
"Mainly clear skies. Low 31F. WNW winds at 10 to 20 mph, diminishing to less than 5 mph."
I have never cooked an overnighter with these conditions. I figure my worst enemy will be the wind. I have already made a wind screen for the WSM. I will be using MM to start the cooker. With the cooler air temps, should I use more lit coals to start? I have the charcoal ring heaping full of unlit.
Feel free to jump in and give me some tips. Thanks in advance.
