Just woke up and checked the WSM which is happily chugging along at a shade under 250. I last threw in some additional coals around 2AM, after putting on a pair of butts at 8PM last night. It seems that no matter what I throw at it in terms of ambient temperatures, it is so easy to get it to hold a constant temperature. Last night was about 10 degrees with a bit of wind. In summer, I need to close vents a bit, but this time ran them wide open.
Amazing how well these units are engineered. I've now smoked with a 80 degree difference in ambient air temperatures, and don't struggle to maintain good temps.
