Slow N Sear

+3, I think it is now. Knocking the ash is just part of the process. Glad it all worked out for you in the end!

Often referred to as "Tunkin th ashes" Gotta do it, especial with SnS what has a bottom, which is why none of th 4 I presently own has one.
Fire needs it some oxygen, to burn well...

I’ve run into this. When I refuel I rap something hard against the slow and seat to clear the ash and then rake the lit coals into a pile one one side and then fill in the unlit charcoal.

Oh yeah I wrapped the shoulder with foil and finished the cook in 10 hours and it came out perfect.

Hey everybody, this is my first time posting a question,
I just got a weber 26in kettle grill and I smoked a 10lb pork butt using the slow n sear for my first cook. Everything went great for the first 6 hours, I went to add more coals to the slow n sear, i was going to power through the stall. I was maintaining a temp of around 275. My question is has anybody ever have a problem add more charcoal to the SnS and the temperature start to drop. I could figure out what was going on until I looked at the SnS and the coals weren't burning. It turned out I had to push down all the ash from the SnS to get air flowing through it. Has anybody had this problem.
