I know that there has been a lot of talk about charcoal brands with the PBC. I, like many others have many bags of Kingsford that I bought on sale. I feel like I was getting many hours of burn time and lately it seems like I can only get about 4 hours.
Today, I am trying to do a 7 lb boneless pork shoulder without wrapping it. At the 4 hour mark, the temp was down to 225. I started and stayed at about 275 for the first 3 hours. The charcoal was more than half gone. I added about a half a basket and mixed it up to get it going again. I left one rebar out and it took about 45 minutes to come back to 275, where I put the rebar back in.
I am now at the 5 hour mark and internal temp is 160. We will see how long of a stall I have.
Any thoughts on length of burn of other brands?
