I'm interested in determining how long I can run a Gater (modified Fatboy) on a full load of charcoal at 225 - 250 degrees. I've become quite used to my Big Green Egg and UDS, both of which allow me to load up the charcoal basket and then run for 12 - 14 hours without adding charcoal. I set things up, program the Stoker, add meat, and go to sleep without worrying about refueling or running out of charcoal during the middle of the night.
I'm really interested in a cabinet smoker for the extra capacity vs. the Egg, but I don't want to be stuck with 6 hour burn times. This would force me to alter my cooking schedule or worse, get out of bed in the middle of the night!
Is there a way to expand the capacity of the Gater's charcoal basket or any other technique to get a 12 hour burn time?
Thanks!
