Sparky, the general consensus is to leave the exhaust wide open. Leaving the exhaust as a constant means one less thing to worry about when adjusting temps. Mine has a standard weber 22.5" lid and I only close the lid when i want to kill the fire. I dont know if smoke gets stale but the exhaust wide open would help prevent "stale" smoke from staying around longer than it has to.
