Ok I'm a techno tard so I accidentally deleted my mid cook pics.
First some rough SNS dimensions and some pics to give you a perspective then some pics of the BB ribs (before sauce) and some red pepper beans I did last night.
SNS Approximate Dimensions
Height 4-1/2"
Length 20-1/2"
Width 8-7/8"
Water chamber capacity 4 cups
Charcoal chamber capacity 120 KBB (older larger size)
Aluminum pan from Costco 11" x 13"
Did a 6 hour cook at 250 and had approx 1 cup of water remaining

I started out with a WSM and then got a Performer much later so I don't have the experience many of you do with cooking low and slow on a kettle. Using the SNS for a rookie like me was pretty fool proof. I filled up the water and charcoal chamber, then removed 8 briquettes to light and used the minion method. Used one chunk of applewood. Cooked at 250 for about 6 hours and put the drip beans on the charcoal grate for the last two hours. Temps locked in without incident even with my daily cooker which is pretty leaky. I was very happy with the performance of the SNS and the ribs were some of my best according to the family.
