This week I plan to do my first low 'n slow cook on my month-old E6. I expect to need 8-10 hours of cook time, using Cowboy briquettes.
What's the best way to load and ignite the charcoal? My thought was to load the charcoal rack leaving a hole in the middle, and pour a small chimney of lit coals into the hole. How much charcoal in total should I load onto the rack? Should I put the lit coals on the side instead of the center ? Is a small chimney too much/too little lit charcoal?
(Keep in mind I'm coming at this from the standpoint of a kettle user, and the E6 is proving to be a very different beast!)
