I just purchased a Chimney Cap and Kick Ash Basket (KAB) for my large BGE. I currently have the old cast iron grate under the KAB and am preparing for an all-night cook.
Right now I am reluctant to remove the grate since I am afraid I'll be guessing on all vent settings with only one cook under my belt with new Chimney Cap.
Questions:
For a long cook do you light the charcoal from the front as suggested by teh KAB manufasturer. I have ALWAYS done a sort of Minion light and place 1-2 lighter cubes in the middle of my charoal, lit them and once burning added my wood to the center to allow the fire to burn inside-out and top down.
Any tips for set-up for long cook (two 8# pork butts going on at 10pm).
Thanks!!!
