@KneabGood lookin' pork right there!!!!
I tried to get good pictures of the vent pile-ups a few times.....the large 26" is at such an angle that the ash falls right thru....
...this was Blue K's which is what was on hand at the time.....much more ash than Stubb's, but it still works OK....
I've heard of WSM people using a skewer to "pull" or knock the ash out the vents while the cook's going on.....done carefully, you won't have a cloud of stuff swirling up around the food.....
With a helicopter vent, you can just sweep careful & slow like & that clears it.....
This came out fine, even with a re-load.....
