It's my experience that the snake will run out between 6-7 hours. I would plan on refueling later. Also add a row if it's cold where your at. How are your vents?

You can get almost double that with the proper setup.

What's your set up?  When I do a 2x2 snake method wrapped 3/4 around, it usually burns for roughly 7 hours. I have done a form of minion method on one side that lasts much longer but isn't as consistent as the snake.

I'm curious about that too @Mrennis84. I'm with @HoosierKettle and only get 6-7 hours from a snake.

@johncorvin how are things looking this morning?

[Mrennis84]

Something like this. I use stubbs charcoal. Not sure if you guys can see the pic. If not,  please let me know.

How did everything go?  ... Any sleep ??  Don't fret it.  I don't recall getting a great sleep on my first overnight.

I would recommend another layer of charcoal, plus some small pieces of lump scattered throughout the fuse.

A pork butt can easily handle higher temperatures.  I prefer to cook them in the 275-300° range.  Gets thru the stall a little quicker.  YMMV

I looked at the temp once during the stall, musty not of taking long. Wish there was some sort of device that had a graph i could look at see how long it took and all.

I'll take a few pics here in few when i get some coffee in me and start pulling.

I would have to say out turned out to be one of the best ones I've done.

Looks Great.  Nice bark

[captjoe06]

Looks good from here! I don't even bother precisely stacking them individually.  I just pour the cold in and push them up against the bowl place the chunks on, sprinkle some chips along the path and light about 12 briquettes and pour them on the start of the fuse. Once it reaches 200 pit temp I close the bottom vent to about an inch from the lever not being able to be closed any more.  Then I pretty much walk away til I hit the internal temp I want on a roast or about 3.5 hours on a R s c of ribs before I'll check
