once you get the pit warm I would close the top cent to about .25" and strictly use the firebox vent to adjust oxygen flow. Pork butt is very forgiving though, even if the temp spikes for a while it is hard to mess up.

Working on it now. Left SFB vent all the way open till it got to almost 285 and closed it half way. Went to about 270 and left it. Seeing if it stays at that temp or keeps dropping.

I'm more worried about it staying the temp I want for at least 8 hours. Is it normal to add more coals? Or just wood?
