chunk charcoal

[J Terpstra]

I started with a full chamber of charcoal chunks+regular briqutes. Temp rose quickly to 275, with bottom vents 75% closed, stayed that way all morning. Finally had to close 95%, still hanging around 275. I have a 8lb pork shoulder. I think I used too much fuel to start with, should of used 3/4 chamber instead of full. I learn from my mistakes.Smell good. thanks terp

Next time, try the Minion Method for your startup. Your fuel will last longer and it's easier to manage your temp on the way up.
