Temperatures here in central Texas have been well over 100 degrees all week - 107 yesterday. I need to pull out the WSM, set it in the sun, and see how hot it gets inside. I may be able to cook some meat without the use of charcoal.
Funny you asked that question. I'm in Dallas and was home for lunch today when I decided to check on my new WSM the wife and kids got me for Father's day.
I was curious about the heat inside. When I removed the cover, the thermometer read just shy of 150!
Its been hot here in Az. Getting up to about 115 during the day. I left my WSM out over night a few night ago and the next afternon the temp was up to about 150! I was thinking about using it to dry out some fresh herbs.
