This is another stupid question I have about ATC.....how well does ATC do with high heat cooks (325-350 degree range)? I would assume it makes these cooks so much easier, but I just want to make sure the temps can get that high without all the vents and side door being opened. Thanks again for all your great advice!

To do some tenderloins quickly for a starving group of 40 people a few weeks ago, I got mine up to 375, which took a long time get there, but it's doable. The fan was running full time, and virtually all the coals down there were red hot, but it worked. Imho, 325 -ish would be a little more reasonable. Just use a full chimney to speed up the warm up.
 
Scott,

Thanks for the advice and help! I would plan on using more hot coals to start with as well.

I'm assuming you are using an 18" WSM as listed in your signature? I've had no problem getting high temps on the 18", but the 22" WSM is another story.
