Hi,
I am preparing to cook my first brisket in a 22" WSM. I think it'll be a 12 pound piece of meat and I'll be cooking it low and slow, around 250 degrees. I'm guessing it'll take about 10 hours, give or take. My question is about the charcoal. Should 18 pounds (1 bag of Kingsford Original) be enough? Also, should I put it all in at once or start with about half and load more as I need it?
Thank you.
