Yesterday I did a cook on my 22.5 WSM. I had a 6 lb pork butt and 4 lb. Brisket flat on the top shelf. I have the first Auber ATC for the WSM with a 6.5 CFM fan. Target temp was 250°. This is the third time I have used the Auber on the 22.5 and it worked fine the first two times with the top vent about 2/3 open.
Yesterday in the first hour of the cook the temp dropped to 220° I had to open the top vent all the way and one lower vent at about 90% open to maintain 250°. The fan was only giving 1 to 2 second bursts. I don't understand why that happened and why the fan cycles were so short. I need help figuring this out. Any ideas?
