Ironic this thread just resurfaced. Last week I did a pork butt and filled my 18" WSM up with lump. Long story short I experimented with some things and this is what was left in the basket after 19 hours in 61 degree/rainy weather. Granted I did overfill slightly. The lump was holding the water pan about 1/4" above the holding brackets for it.
@ecopwper It was starting to go down at this point. Had I kept it on I would have needed to add more. I use a Billows fan and that helps with the inconsistency lump brings to the WSM. If I didn't have the Billows I don't think I'd be using lump as much as I do in it, if that helps.
