I have the 14" WSM, and twice I've tried to do pork shoulders. I'm able to keep a wonderful consistent temp for around 8 hours, and then I typically need to add charcoal. Then it comes right into temp again. But both times, when I'm trying to finish my cook in the 10-12th hours, I can't get it over 200 degrees no matter what I do. I can add charcoal, I can have the vents completely open, and I just can't get anything above 200 degrees no matter what I do.
Am I choking it with ash? I can't come up with any other way that I can't raise the temp other than blocked air flow somehow.
Any recommendations?
