Charcoal Longevity

[Paul H]

What's the longest burn on charcoal anyone's had? I did one this weekend that was over 18 hours and still going. I finally ran out of things to smoke on WSM so I had to shut her down. When I checked the charcoal ring the next day I still had over a half a ring left.

I did two butts over the weekend using Picnic lump.

The cooker held at 240 lid into the 25th hour on a single load of lump (and 2/3 of it was left over from a previous cook). It ran longer than that but I had to leave.

Paul:

What brand did you use?

I've experienced very good results with Wicked Good Weekend Warrior. (18+)

During the summer I got a 22hr burn from a full bowl of Kingsford.

My first ever cook on my WSM I smoked up two butts. Took me 23 hrs! Pretty crazy I thought.
