Havin a large basket really helps to not have to reload. Using lump you can always reuse the coals, just give it a good shake and add more to the top. 20 lbs of lump and some mesquite chunks could have fit more. Built it according to the pickled pig charcoal basket tutorial. Ran for 30 hrs @225, the good thing about lump is you can just add more. If your adding briquettes, you better remove your food till the nasty smoke clears out.



22 lbs of kingsford bb. Could have fit 40 lbs
