How much sleep are you getting with out your charcoal basket. I was not saying horizontals are not good I just find that the verticals work better for me. I get a 15 to 20 hour burn on my small vertical and 20 to 24 hour burn with my big smoker.

It is fun cooking with quartered logs though, even with the extra maintenance. Besides, you get excercise from splitting, stacking, and loading. And that cancels out all those extra calories from eating Q!

When it's time for sleep, I break out the basket. In a comp you better be checking your pit every five hours or so no matter your cooker. Quote:
Your comment was about comp cooking, not the need for a 20 hour burn.

If I had a nice off-set like a Klose, Horizon or Meadow Creek I'd be looking at the power cooking method, putting the big meats on at 4am. |

I never said I stay up all night checking my pit, if you read my post you would see that my point was that I don't have to.

What's power cooking? High temps, shorter times? I am unfamiliar with the nomenclature, help a Brethren out.

Yes cooking at ~350*. Usually just a couple of hours in the smoke and then foil with a total cook time on butts/briskets of about 5 hrs. If you want to take a class on this check out Myron Mixon's classes.

If your buddies bought a charcoal basket, they could get some sleep like you guys with other pit designs.
