I’m a long-time 18” owner, but recently received a 22.5” from the wife and only have one cook under my belt on it which was a couple high-heat turkeys on Thanksgiving. For the Super Bowl, my wife wants me to do 12 racks of BB’s. My plan is to do 6 on the top rack and 6 on the bottom rack, on two rib racks, cooking at 250-275 and no foiling. I’ve never done a cook this big and I’m new to the 22.5”, so I’m not really sure what start-up method and how much charcoal to use. Concerned about the amount of mass that’s going in the cooker, so was thinking of using standard method and no water in the pan and then catch temps on the way up. Using Kingford briquettes. Would love to hear any thoughts. Thanks in advance!
