That's a beautiful damn fargin' sight. It's not overkill man, any of us would have done the same. Looks like fun. Make a cover and call that corner of the deck home for the damn thing. Carve your name into it while at it as well.

I used a bag of Kingsford Blue (16.5) for the 16 hours. One bottom vent opened 1/4
The other 2 closed , top vent 1/2 open.. gotta be careful with the vents.. i had it runaway
And got to 800 in about 15 mins...

Would you call this technique a giant minion method? Did you simply spread the full bag on 1/2 of the ranch and just let it go? How many lit charcoals did you start with?

Yes big minion method. Took two starter cubes
And lit them on either end.. 4 chunks of apple wood
And let it rip...

Nice.  there's a bit of a learning curve with an RK.   I've gone to running 3x3x2 snakes on both sides of the bowl.  Run one from about 1 to 4 o'clock, the other from 7 to 11.   Light both, put the meat in the middle and adjust vents as necessary.

Wish I had an accurate answer for you JDD.   I ran this setup for 8 racks of spare ribs that ended up going about 6 hours, but still had some length left on each snake.
