All: OK so I'm still in the middle of my first overnight with 2 butts. I started last night at 8:30 PM using the Minion method. Dome temp went to 250 fairly quickly and at 11 PM I went to bed with dome temp around 250. I checked the temp at 1 AM and it was around 300! I closed some vents and brought it down though. Like others have said, it's amazing how just a small turn on the bottom vents can dramatically change the smoker temps.
Anyway, now after 13 hours my internal temp is only 169..and that's down from a high of 175...what's up with that? From various posts on here, it sounds as if I'm OK, but my target temp of 190 is still hours away. Am I right here? The dome temp is stable now around 255, and without adding more fuel.
I have an appointment at 1 PM and have to leave the house. I hope to have this solved by then but that's only three hours and 21 degrees away. Should I do as you say and just trust my WSM?
