I only do it for chicken.

Thanks Jim!

reduce the amount of lit and fill that sucker with more unlit. you likely ran out of fuel because it was running too hot at first and you didn't have enough charcoal.

this is exactly what I do.

I've been wanting to get some, but I was always told you want untreated. anyone with any insight?

12-20 coals with minon method and water isn't the enemy

start with like 3 or 4 lit coals and immediately close the bottom vents 3/4 of the way. I've never been able to get it much lower than 180 for long periods of time though.

Thanks for the info!

Looks good nate. What type of wood did you use? My pizzas are awful smokey!

personally I'd save the lump for grilling, but I think you will be fine either way.

lump or briquettes? people certainly use it with the MM all the time and seem happy.

try putting the grates directly on the coals rather than the steak on the coals. a little space helps and keeps the grit off IMO. personally I've never had a problem getting a good sear with charcoal as long as I pile the coals high. if I have a full kettle i'll put all the coals on one...

as long as you start it early say 7-8am I'd be shocked if they weren't done for dinner.

I did a 4 pounder not that long ago and it took 8-9 hours. considerably faster than an 8 pounder.

I think pro definitely burns cleaner and has a nicer smell at startup and I used to buy it solely. then I got on some of the blue discounts people mentioned on the site and haven't looked back and frankly can't tell the difference in the final product nor in performance. the only noticeable...
