I threw a 8 lb pork butt covered in mustard and my favorite spices on the WSM 18 last night at 1030pm.....I tryed sand in my brinkman water pan. So far so good. I filled charcoal ring to top and threw on 10 lit coals, left vents 50% open and threw on butt. The outside air temp is about 40 degrees. When my temps crept up to 200 I closed 1 vent and the other two just left open 10% and went to bed about 1130. Woke up at 5am and it was right at 250 at the lid so I closed one vent all the way and went back to sleep. When I woke up at 830am it has dropped to 225 and I am chugging away. I want to keep it right around 225. At 830am the butt temp was 163.
I like sand so far....
