I have an EBC which I added a real thermometer to but I can't get it over 225. Could this be due to too much food on there, too much water, or something else?
I had warmer water but there's like 7lbs of chicken between the two racks. I've only gotten it above 225 when I add fresh charcoal and chops but that's temporary. Is it just too much food or do I need to use different charcoal or chunks of wood? It was preheated to 225 before I threw it on
I should add too it was around 35 yesterday on MN which is warm for this time of the year but I'm thinking that combined with too much unlit charcoal (didn't do the minion method yet) might be the problem

You might try filling the water pan with sand and then covering it with foil, that helps some with heat retention and will get over 212 degrees. Water boils around 212 so your water pan doesn't exceed that.
