bought a full packer a while back. wife cut off the flat and cooked that. so for mothers day
we decided to cook the rest. big chunk of meat. have a basket for coals in the mini so packed
that up and then dumped 20 lit coals on that. the temp stabilized at approx. 275 were I like it and
held till 3.5 hours of cooking and then started to drop off. checked the coals and found them
mostly burned up so I had to replenish the coals. the int temp was 135 when I did this.
so I guess the mini is great for smallish stuff including a smaller butt but its stretching it
with a big chunk of meat. not a big deal but i'll stick with the kettle for the bigger stuff.
