Hold on..........This is almost a hijacking of my own thread???????
Started by me, I think, my apologies. But the hijack does bring up a good point -- until I saw the answers on this thread I was thinking there was something different about my charcoal or I was burning it wrong. It seems there are smoker pigs that burn charcoal too fast -- do enough smoking and you're better off spending money getting a good smoker than wasting half (or more of) the charcoal. I think I should have been able to smoke a 7 lb pork loin with 1 16# bag of briquettes, so the problem is not getting enough hours from the charcoal I'm discovering, it's my smoker and my own sub par mods. It's a good lesson. Thank you for asking the question and thank you to everyone that chimed in. A really good lesson for me.
