I didn't get a chance to try out my new toy this weekend. I figured I'd take today off to take a shot at 3 slabs of BBs.

I'm trying the "standard method" with a water filled foil lined water pan.

May the force be with me!

Thanks to all for the knowledge shared here. I hope I can do you proud!
 
Well... it settled down to about 310 so I figured it was time to put the meat on. Long story short, I fussed around with the lid off for too long and I was down to 170 by the time I got the lid back on. It quickly worked up to 190. A few vent adjustment later, and I'm cruising along at 230. (50 minutes into the cook)

The difference in temp control between this and my kettle amazing. I think I can set the temp range on my thermometer to 225-250 and not have to play with it much. I'm used to working with a 215-270 range with the kettle and having to make an adjustment every 15-30 minutes.
 
Chuck, do not try to micromanage the temps. You will be amazed how much the temps can vary and still produce a quality product. As you have a bit more experience, you will be able to have another beer and let the WSM do its thing.
