The "smoke" setting is just another temp setting on the grill. If you are using a digital thermostat, the temp you set it to will be maintained by the grill. When you set it at "smoke" it is purely based on time. In the summer, smoke might give you temps around 180-225, in the winter, smoke might only give you temps around 140.
For me, I never use the smoke setting. I set the digital at 225 and do not switch it, especially for pork butts, brisket and ribs. Chicken I do at 275.
