Long time 18.5 wsm owner with a new 22.5 and new IQ 110 temp controller.
Did a cook last night of 6 pork butts average weight of 8 pounds each before trimming.
Empty water pan was foiled.
Put 2 full weber chimmneys of kingsford original in ring and added 1 more lit chimmney (minion) on top.
Cook started at 7:30pm and temperature quickly stabilized at top grate at 225 as set on IQ 110.
When I checked this morning at 7am temp was 100 on lid and upon opening access door no fuel was left in chamber.
What do I need to do ensure my fuel lasts through the night?
Add more charcoal at beginning of cook? if so how much
Before I hit the sack add more charcoal to chamber? if so how much
Will adding a clay saucer help retain more heat and make the fuel more efficient and last longer?
Any answers to my questions or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
