I've smoked quite a few times in an 18.5" before and now I've got a 22.5" coming in. I use the Minion method when smoking.
Should I do the exact same thing with the 22.5" that I've done with the 18.5"? My main question concerns how much chunk charcoal to use initially. Do I use the same amount as with the 18.5" (the 18.5"'s charcoal ring full of charcoal) or do I use more since the charcoal ring is bigger (or at least I'm assuming it is) with the 22.5"?
Also, do you find that you need more smoking wood chunks or is three enough?
