I'VE HELPED THE PROBLEM A LITTLE BIT BY THROWING A COUPLE OF OLD BEACH TOWELS OVER THE TOP OF THE WSM, BUT I THINK MY NEXT WORKSHOP PROJECT WILL BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

Hi Bob:
Well, I put one brisket on each rack (52°) and the probe on the top rack at the edge of the grate. So is that a pilot's microphone on your head?
So a couple of weeks ago I was doing a couple of 17 lb. briskets in my 22.5" WSM using an Auber ATC. Cool day for Aridzona, only about 60° high for the day. Wanted to cook at 250° but could not get the WSM above about 225°-230°. Now that is my normal cook range, but I was experimenting...
