quick question for all you overnighters

This is my second overnight cook, first one did pretty good but now I am more aware of my temps. Right now it is 207 on a 12lb packer 2hrs in, full bowl, minion, 22.5 wms. My question is before I go to bed, my temp has gone down 3deg, can I open 1 of the bottom vents a little or do I have to open all 3 evenly? Just wondering if opening only one vent makes just that side burn quicker than the other 2 sides and ruins the the burn? Any info is greatly appreciated, quickly please, I'm well into a 18 pack and must have some sleep before soccer party tomorrow.
Thanks,
Ian
 
put a butt on around 9:30. I am so excited I don't want to go to bed. I can just stare at my redi-check thermometer for hours!!! I have never done an overnight butt. It is alway a foiled daytime affair. I expect this to look like the meteorite that fell in Wisconsin a couple nights ago.

MMM...bark

No. In fact, some will tell you doing that will give you less bark.
