Blizzard Cook

I am cooking a pork shoulder, first Blizzard cook.  With the cold weather and snow will the egg use more fuel for a low and slow cook?  

If so can I just add more lump (I have never add to a cook - anything I should know?)

Thanks for any info.

    Just fill it to the top of the fire ring. You'll be fine. I never really noticed whether or not it burns more in cold weather.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I did fill it up all the way before the cook started.  Is their a trick to fulling it while the cook is going - I am 4 1/2 hrs into the cook. thanks

    I've never need to. My longest cook was 18 or so hours. I suspect I could have gone at least another 12 easy.
