Yup, you sure can. That is what most people do with a WSM. The left over briquettes can be reused but remember that they will not reach their maximum heat because they are past that. You can use the left over briquettes to light new briquettes or mix em with new briquettes........it's all good.........

That's good to know and I will add a load of briquettes for charcoal flavor steaks today and save the left over briquettes for later.
Thanks.

I took y'all's advice about using charcoal briquettes.

Four pounds Stubb's Stubb's All-Natural Charcoal Briquets,


Four pounds briquettes looks like this in the Akorn.


Here is the graph showing a time of 28 hours more than long enough for an overnight cook.

I can relate

I'm in love with my 22"OldSmokey

X2! Best 60 bucks I ever spent. I love a Komodo style cooker, but my skills on those are limited. Tried a few times and always had temp overshoot that took forever to come down.
Old Smokey just sits there and behaves. A little nudge to the bottom vent after starting and it's cruise control. If I did go for a Komodo style, I would defiantly follow Art's lead and get
a Stoker. He's had some experience with those.

The Que-110 is a good Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) but my point of my post is not ATC's.

The main point is 28 hours of cook time out of 4 pounds of briquettes in the Akorn.

and it's an insulated shell instead of ceramic

Yep, so it is neither a Ceramic nor Kamado Cooker so not sure what to call it.
