Well, just fired up the WSM to smoke 2 chickens at about 350 F. I only had last years lump charcoal, but it worked fine a few weeks back. Today is mild but wet and a slight wind. I CANNOT get it up to temp!!! Just lit and added a 2cnd chimney (half chimney -run out of lump) and it is still not up to temp. And smoking like a forest fire - 2 fist sized bits of plum.

Hope it comes out edible!!

Turn your door upside down so the knob is at the bottom then prop the door open 1/2 inch or so. See if that works.
 
Guests arrived just while I was typing my message yesterday! Well, the Weber probe therm in the chicken began to show a temperature rise quite quickly and the birds only took about one and a half hours - so I think the therm in the top of the WSM must have been faulty - or touching the cold chickens, perhaps??!!

Anyway, they came out moist and beautifully flavoured. I should never have doubted it - the WSM hasn't let me down yet!
