I've got 2 6.5lb Mr. Brown butts on right now. Using MM, hickory and oak chunks. I put the meat on immediately when I assembled the WSM, and it took about an hour but at 8 I got 246 lid temp. It's been holding almost perfectly at 250.5 for about the last hour or so. I only used 15 lit briquettes b/c it's supposed to be warm (75) here today. Also used cold water in the pan, which I think contributed to the long time to reach cook temps.
I'm so happy...the fireplace gasket in between the charcoal bowl and middle section has worked wonders for my temperature control! This is great!
