Thanks guys for input with the decision. Sure a Summit charcoal would have been awesome but I’ve been seeing great results smoking meats on my old 22” kettle. So this 26” will be a fun upgrade
Any tips or tricks for the transition? My old lid was a bit tweaked so it did have leaks when I didn’t get the lid back on just right. Happened more during normal cooks as I would flip or tend to the cook. I know it contributed to possibly a higher consumption of charcoal due to more air intake but will the 26” use considerably more charcoal to produce the same temps?
Any mods you guys think really enhanced the everyday performance that are must haves? Down the road I have a list of things I would like to make or build for it. Wanted some input from those that have time using this thing.
Should be fun learning this monster.
