Having trouble getting temp to stay at 250, using full ring and 14-15 lit coals minion method. I let it get up to 235 (grate) or so then close vents down a bit, and it barely rises, end up opening them all back up and then it will barely crack 250. It stayed there for maybe an hour. Its already back down to 235. Started the cook 2.5 hours ago. I've had this issue with all 4 or 5 cooks I've done with my new WSM. Never had this issue with by previous WSM, I've always used this same method, on my old smoker, I'd only have to let it get to 225 and even close two vents down totally,
and it would creep up to 250 and stay there. I could get a brisket, or butt done with one full ring. On my new one I've gone through a full ring and have had to add coals every time. Its not overly cold or breezy either today, 47 and no breeze to speak of...Any Ideas?
