Update:
I've found that not fully covering the charcoal grate with foil seems to do the trick for me. Just a piece in the center area to catch drippings, preventing too much air being funneled into the S&S.
Have some spares on now. Started with 10 hot coals and poured 2/3 of a large chimney on that (spread out of course). Filled the water reservoir, left the bottom vents fully open and the top vents at about 1/8. Been almost an hour now and the temp is holding nicely at 230 - 240 without any further adjustments.
Can't wait for the smoked spare's dinner!
