Hi All,
We're heading out camping for the May long weekend, and just like every other time I go camping, I'll be lugging my 18.5" WSM along for the ride! I've done lots of smokes, but nothing over 12 hours, so I'm a little nervous about my first attempt at an overnighter.
I'm cooking for 11 + 4 kids on Saturday, so am planning on a 10lb pork butt, using the Mr. Brown recipe. I'm using Wicked Good Lump, so I'll pack the charcoal bowl with unlit, throw a chimney full of lit on top at 10:00pm, and will plan to pull it anywhere from 2:00-5:00 on Saturday(16-19 hrs).
Because I'm using lump, I'm thinking I'll have to throw another chimney of unlit in sometime Saturday morning. Will also plan to fill up the water pan as necessary. As for wood, I'm thinking of using a hickory/apple mixture.
Any major holes in my plan? Any gotchas you guys have come across that may save me some frustration?
Cheers,
Kurt
