I have similar results, 5-6 hours max with grate level temps ranging
from 250 -325 depending on how hard the wind is blowing. Cheap
temperature gauges are notorious for error and I would suggest
that next time Scott run his cooking temps a little higher.

Thanks, I'm going to definitely try a higher temp next. I was using a candy
thermo to measure temp at the lid, I may get a second probe thermo to
measure at the actual cooking grate.
