This weekend I did my first overnight/long smoke and I used Kingsford competition instead of regular kingsford that I have used for my chickens and other shorter smokes. Well I have come to the conclusion that competition is not the best thing to use for longer smokes. At the 8 hour mark of my butt cook I was completely out of coals and I had to pull the butt and finish it off wrapped in foil in the oven. That was a whole bag. I know its only 12 pounds, but it says it lasts the same as a regular kingsford bag on the comp bag. Needless to say I was a little cheezed off, but as this was my first butt cook all was forgiven.
Anyway, anyone else had this problem, or did I do something wrong?
P.S. It was a WSM 22.5" I was using for reference.
