Weber Summit Charcoal dilemma

[JWFokker]

How open are your vents? I don't care for low and slow on kamados because they need to choke the airflow down and have high humidity in the cook chamber. The WSC is between a kamado and a WSM in that regard. You can maintain 220F in a kamado but I wouldn't recommend it.

Bottom vent set to smoke, top vent 1/4-1/3 open. Bottom vents are P-shaped and the smoke setting has the upper part of the P open. If I'm using the controller, I close the bottom vent completely and leave the top vent 1/3-1/2 open. I haven't noticed a high humidity issue with it.

A Weber Kettle is a whole lot cheaper. Plus, if you want to smoke say Chicken and Butts, one WSM low and slow with Butts while the other runs hot and fast to avoid flabby Chicken skin though a Kettle could fix that too!
