Hi PBC folks!
I’ve been experimenting with lump charcoal in my PBC and having a real hard time with the temps blasting off and staying super hot. I know there is a way to do low and slow but would love some advice.
for lighting I did 2/3 unlit in basket and a full PBC chimney. Lit and let sit until burning hit (15-18 minutes) and dumped onto unlit coals in basket. Then I let it sit for 20 minutes (maybe too long). I’ve been mostly cooking big hunks of meat (and made some incredible roast beef/pot beef) but today I’m tackling a pork shoulder and need it to dial back (with lump was in the 400s and then when I tried to stop up the holes it still was mid 350s).
how do folks light and manage low and slow cooks with lump in this group. Any advice welcome.
