smoking a boston butt on the WSM and can't keep the temp below 270. all the bottom vents are closed, the acces door fits pretty good, and the water pan is full. started it with only about 15 pieces of charcoal. Top vent is full open. Any thoughts, I've heard always keep the top vent full open. Will cloing it down a little decrease the air available to the fire and cool it down a little. I've heard WSM run hot the first could of run. This is second time using it, still fuguring it out
Thanks,
SSB
