Looks like the R&D department has a lot of testing to do....hahaha

Nice rig you got there, pretty sure that Maiden smoke turned out great!

I started the SS-1 yesterday at 5PM with a full chute (roughly 20 lbs.) and cooked all night long at 225*. I bumped it up at 2:30PM today to 250* to finish off a butt that was running long. As of right now I am still going strong at 250* with 1/4 of a chute left to burn. The temp here last night got down to 32*.

I am running Kingsford Blue, just because that's what I had. I would expect that lump would not burn nearly as long. I will test that soon.

Finally dipped below 225* at around 6 AM this morning. 36 hrs out of one chute of charcoal. I will test the run time on lump soon.
