I'm not rocket scientist but...
Well more mass is going to take more energy to raise the temp.
All things being equal if all the settings stayed the same from a lesser weight of meat cook to a higher weight of meat to cook the difference would be time. Meaning more fuel consumed over that time variant.
I dunno I stayed at a holiday inn once.

I know better. Only do one thing different each time so you know if it had any effect.
Anyway, do you guys get a longer burn time with less meat?
Is it easier to maintain temp one way or the other?
