Charcoal used on summit

After cooking the pork butt yesterday at 3 hrs. at 350 and 4 1/2 hrs. at 300 I wanted to see how much charcoal I used, when I started I filled the bottom up to the diffuser plate because I knew I was going to cook hot and didn't want to have to add charcoal while I was cooking, I went outside this morning and was supprised how much charcoal was left I stir it to get the ashes out, and here is a picture of the charcoal that was left.

That's impressive. Looks like half didn't even need to be started.

They say Kamado's are super efficient. May not be a ceramic, but I would say that competes with them.

This is very interesting, now I am wondering if it will out perform the WSM on fuel usage.

I was reading some of the Q@A on Weber's site and Weber claims it
does
use less charcoal than a WSM.

Definitely. Anything insulated like this will be more fuel efficient. Case in point
@Shoestringshop
has a thread where he has his hand on the summit while its around 600 degrees, I believe. No can do with our regular kettles or wsm's. That's a lot of heat loss.
Anyone else bare the scar of sweeping the kettle while cooking and touching their forearm to it? I made my kids watch my skin peel to teach not to play around the grill.
