How many coals do you think would be required to just keep already prepared meats "warm"? I thought I would use a spare kettle since we will have a ton of food and people this weekend. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

I've done a simple row of "one" charcoal, with a bit of lump to make sure the chain doesn't break.....about 170f for several hours was what was needed at the time........
Sometimes where the coals have been running pretty strong you can also just pinch the vents (incl. the top) way down & get a good long hold temp from that.....this I've done many times....
