Hey Brethren! Finished my mini and ran seasoning/temp. tests.
Had interesting results. First test was last weekend and I used lump. Yesterday I did everything the same, except with briquettes. The briquettes got to temp faster and got TBS faster.
Here it is with the briquettes.
5:19.......put about 20 lit coals from chimney on top of coals in the mini.
5:23......Cooker at 261* with intake and exhaust wide open.
5:29......At 351* at this time I closed both intakes to 1/2 open.
5:43......At 307* and getting TBS now.
5:53......At 264* and no visible smoke. Opened 1 intake full and left one 1
at 1/2 open.
6:01......At 271* and pretty much held that throughout the cook.
In 34 minutes from being lit it went from the white smoke in the first pic, to the TBS in the second pic. This little cooker ROCKS!! Thanks for looking.
