So, I did two butts last weekend -- 15.5 pounds before trimming, no idea what after. I used the Minion method and was expecting the temperature stall, but...I dunno. They stalled forever, or seemed to, and the fire seemed to just not have the oomph it needed.
I think my thermometer may be a bit off, because when I finally gave up and took the butts off, they were certainly thoroughly cooked and plenty tender. Apart from that, though, should one lit cannister plus one unlit really have the power to do the whole job? If not, how much do you add and when? Temps ranged from 50F-low 60s.
TIA,
