i used this for 4 cooks. it works great. i've gotten 6 - 7 hour burns at 220 -250. on a 1/2 coal basket fill 1/2 way. these drums are so cool. i hardly use any coal and keeps temp like a champ.
ok, enough of that. time for tri dogs.
the key to these drums is use only 15 coals. only 15.

Tri dogs are a great idea and an even better idea is that 1/2 basket!!
