So I'm 4 smokes and a burn test into ownership of my new drum smoker. After some frustrating burnouts and temp swings with B&B lump I switched over to good ol cheap kingsford original, and what do you know I was able to run at 325 plus for a hot and fast pork shoulder, ended up burning the charcoal out to see what I got and it gave me about 12 hours at 300+ on 8 pounds of fuel. I can only imagine that 8 pounds would go well into the 16-18 hour range for a low and slow burn. I don't have a problem with kingsford as it's cheap and readily available, but I really wanted the lump to work out better. Is there a way to pack lump or light it that helps achieve a longer more even burn or is it just a matter of learning to use it with experience. Thanks all.
