I don't think this question is ATC specific, just general in terms of using a blow with any ATC on a WSM.
I use a hybrid minion method if you will. I took a 6" or so diameter metal can and slit it lengthwise down one side. I then unwrapped it to basically create a coiled wall in my coals. I put the hot coals in the center and then they burn outwards in a curled method..kinda like a circular maze. I feel like i get a longer more consistent burn with this technique.
So the question is does it matter which bottom vent i use to mount my blower on when using the minion technique, or do i need to do something different with either my blower setup or how i run my coals?
