Quick question to you long-term XL owners. I'm now 5 cooks in, with 2 being slow pork butts (225-250 deg). My issue has been with the long cooks. At around the 10-12 hr mark, I start to lose grill temp and have had to wrap and finish the butts in the oven. After taking out the grates and plates, I notice the the charcoal has burned down the middle but not ignited either side. After shaking out the coals, this are plenty left. I lit in one spot on the left at the edge of the basket. Using a Kickash basket sitting on the stock charcoal plate. Am I doing something wrong, and any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
1st pic is immediately after cooldown and 2nd pic is the amount of coals left after shake down.
