I am working on my first overnight smoke, and my Ique seems to be working great. I went out to check recently, and the wind has really picked up. The WSM is now sitting a little lower than I want, and the Ique fan is having to run constantly to keep it steady. I have the top vent completely open now, due to what I have heard from you guys on the board. Does anyone close the top vent, at least some, after foiling? I would have liked to not foil at all, but I'm looking for an earlier lunch of around 11am.
I would think since the shoulder is all done taking in smoke, especially in foil, that it would be ok to close the top vent some to allow the WSM to maintain a higher temp?
