I also bought some of the Weber charcoal, 15 bags, LOL.... I used it this last weekend to smoke some pork cushion, I used 4#, 3 chunks of oak and added about 18 lit coals. Smoker ran between 200 and 225 for 9 1/2 hours!! and when I finally took the pork out of the smoker, there was probably still another 45 minutes worth of heat. I really like the stuff, but will not pay $20 for it....
