Hi All I did my 1st over night cook with my WSM 22". I started at 11 pm with 3/4 bag of Weber Charcoal, it's now 9 am and the smoker is still going.
Smoking a 3 1/2 lb butt and a 3 lb flat.
Here is my problem I was looking to smoke at 225, nice n slow, temp right now is 279. All night long I couldn't get the temps down too 225.
I'm using lava rocks in the water pan, got all the bottom vents closed, top vent 3/4 open..So why are my temps much higher then I wanted? Maybe next time water in the pan.
The Weber charcoal did past the over night test as far as time goes,just have to get the temps down next time.
