Glad i found this thread. I normally get 5-6 hours using only half of the diameter of the kettle. But this weekend on fathers day, it was washed out with rain, i was smoking a boston butt and it required four snakes! It was a 9 hour smoke. I do have a leak of smoke on my kettle which i already ordered some lava lock gasket to seal.
Not sure what else to blame other than the leak and high humidity.
