Starting a new fire?

[DeathCassette]

I am having a get together today and have had a brisket on my PBC since 2 this morning. Things are going wonderfully and that thing just looks like it is going to be incredible. After I take out the brisket to place in a faux cambro I plan on adding in some ribs and a slab of pork belly. My question is whether I need to make a new set of coals for the second round of cooking or will the ones that I have been using for almost 10 hours now be able to sustain the cooking temperature? Any advice anyone could give is greatly appreciated.

Start fresh. I would take the lid off and burn out any grease build up.

Thanks for the info. Now to find something to pull the basket out with so I don't burn off all my digits.

I use a garden rake to insert or remove my charcoal basket.
