So swapping to the Kingsford blue bag definitely solved my problem. Smoked a BB for 7-1/2hrs and held a steady 250 the whole time without any stoking at all. And that that snake would have easily ran for 8-1/2hrs. Thanks for all the advice.

Thanks for the replies. Got a late start because of the rain. I used the old trusty Kingsford original but kept everything else the same just to see what effects the charcoal itself was having on the cook. I’ll definitely post a update on how it goes.

Thank you so much for the advice I had the wife pick up a couple bags of the original. Gonna start another smoke around 2am “I will figure this snake method out”. Should I keep them 2x2+1 nice and neat OR just pour them out in a circle?

I’m attempting to use the snake method in my 22” kettle. My problem is I get the temp stable and turn my back the temp drops off. I’ve stacked the coals 2x2 + 1 nice and neat and it goes out 45min in every time. I’m using Kingsford 100% natural hardwood Briquets. Should I stop making the snake...

Cooking with the lid off did the trick for high heat fast cooks! Thanks Lance

I use the baskets 98% of the time pulled apart. The other 2% of the time I use my Smokenator.

How much coal and what vent settings are y'all using for high temp cooks? I put 30 lit coals and open vents but couldn't get the temp up at all.

Well I picked up a Smokey Joe Silver lastnight. The only think will be a problem is the vent seems like it will fill up with ash but time will tell.

Was thinking about picking up a Smokey Joe for when the wife and I want a quick Steak. Do you have a Smokey Joe and if so what/how do you cook on it?

What temp you cooking at? You said don't open the lid so I assume you don't flip them at all?

Thanks for the great advice y'all.

Great idea on the kabobs that may be the finshing touch I'm looking for. I've never done them before so I may try some this weekend to see how they come out. I could keep it simple with bell pepper, onion and chicken. Thanks Lance

So in a couple weeks I'm gonna cook for an event that will be a lot of people showing up thought the day. So I'm gonna do Hamburgers and Brats but I'm looking for other ideas of things I could cook that would be as easy and fast as Burgers and Brats?? I wanna add that the cook will be done on...

If I put a charcoal basket on the left and right sides under the fold up grates so I can add coal and wood chuncks then put a BB in a pan over indirect heat how hot could I cook at and not dry out the butt? Has anyone done this if so how much did it cut down cook times over low and slow?

Looking at that chicken I couldn't tell it rained on your party!!!!

Pic of the week for sure!!!!!
