Knows what a fatty is.
Cooked on my new Highland this weekend; seasoned it the weekend before. Was a 11 lb. CAB packer brisket. & 8 lb. pork shoulder. Probably a bit ambitious for my first offset cook. Was a hot cook 275 - 325 for bout 9 hours. Around 7.5 hours in, I had ran through my 25 pound Kingsford Hickory Log bag. Kind of tethered to the house, so I just used lump for the remaining time.
My question is what is the ideal efficiency for an offset. Was aiming for 1 stick about 45-55 minutes, which I was able to achieve. Did some mods (charcoal basket, gasket on firebox) I cooked with a disposable aluminum water pan to serve as my heat sink. Eyeing up the BBQ Mods drop in baffle/convection plate. I have a a habit of over-tinkering, just want to know what the ideal efficiency I am going for is.
P.S. Was able to glean a lot of good info from this link.
