It is now 830am and the outdoor temp is already 100° and the smoker is currently 218°. Have the probe mounted on grill clip right between the ribs. I have 4 oz of wood, 1/2 apple 1/2 hickory. I have 100 bricketts in a half circle and put a chimney of 60 bricketts on one end. temp started at 250° when I put the ribs in it was at 220°and then in 15 mins dropped to 208°. messed with some vents and 8:40am back to 220°. I am happy so far with the temp and have an umbrella set over the smoker to shade a little from the HOT sun. Hope everything keeps going well and the wife should be happy when she gets home from work today
