Got a 22.5 performer and want to try a slab of spares. How much charcoal should I use - figuring on the Minion Method?

Thanks,
FJE
 
Frank, when using my otg 22.5 to smoke i fill one charcoal holder and add 4 lit coals,i like to catch the temp on the way up lot easier to control, bottom vent open 100% and lid vent 1/3-1/2 open temp settles in at around 260-300 u can move the vent and dial in whatever temp u like, , i like to cook at 275, gl and tell us how it goes

I used both charcoal trays minion style with 4 lit coals in each. Cook at 300-350. Larry Wolfe got me hooked on this method. Just as good as low and slow, but I can cook St Louis spares in 2-3 hours. Aluminum drip tray in the middle, under the ribs. If I have trouble w/ temps, I can always add a little water to the aluminum pan.
