Briquettes Temp

[Ryan P.K.]

Way back, about a decade ago, I was told or thought I was told 1 briquette equaled 25 degrees. Is this true, or am I hearing little voices in my head?

No idea, but it would be interesting trivia.

I'm sure it's true in some scenarios, but not across the board. Airflow & enclosure/environment will also come into play.

When using my Dutch Oven, there's a rule of thumb that one briquette equals 10 to 15* F. To get 350* I use 24 briquettes for my 12" oven.

Maybe that's where I heard that as well.

once you get over a certain critical mass of briquettes in the WSM they only make a difference as to time burning, airflow is way more important for temperature control.
