is Blowin Smoke!
Hi guys, just getting up the courage to do some long cooks on the Kamado Joe and since it is pretty much identical to the BGE, I thought I would ask you fellas about lump coal amounts.
I want to do a butt this weekend and want to trust the Kamado without being present, I have a sausage party to go to at Grampa's farm, doing 1800 lbs of sausages this year.
Can I trust that this baby will hold and take care of my shoulder without being present to check on it? No different than an all nighter I guess. I want to be able to get it on the grill in the early morning and let it ride. I know how to maintain the temp, just not sure if I stuff the coals in there and really fill it. I generally don't put a whole lot in it when doing ribs or other six hour smokes so I am not sure if I pile it up to the ring or just over the vent holes.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
