I put a full chimney in at 8am, and added a few more. Now it seems like it's about run out of gas. I tried to stir them a little, but most of it was ash that fell out the bottom. I added a few more coals to get back to temp.
I guess I'm doing something wrong because I'm not getting nearly the cooking times (14, 18 hours +) that I've read about.
I'm using regular kingsford charcoal. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
How much unlit do you have in the charcoal ring? You will need a full ring to last 12+ hours. Also depending on what you are cooking, a full chimney is a bit much to start off with for low and slow. I use 10-15 to begin with if I'm using a chimney.
BTW, Cowboy avatar and you live down the road from me??? Nooooo say it ain't so!!!

I moved up here from Dallas about 4 years ago. So, I live in Redskins country and I work out of Philly - I've got no friends anywhere!!
I think the problem is pretty obvious to everyone then - I just didn't start with nearly enough charcoal. I think I can go out and remedy this pretty easily. Thanks!
