SnS Burn Times

[CRO]

What kind of burn times is everyone getting at 250?
I'm getting around 5 1/2 hrs with Kingsford Blue.

What sized grill and SnS?

[CRO]

22" Weber with original SnS and drip n griddle.
Bottom vents slightly open ( about a 1/8), top vents a little less than half.

I've gotten 8hrs a couple of times but it was ideal weather and dialed in at 225/230

I get 6 to 8 hours at 225-250 with Kingsford, Royal Oak or Stubbs briquettes. I’ve gotten over 8 hours with Weber briquettes.

Depends on age of charcoal, humidity and size of the hunk of meat your cooking. I guess my average time is closer to 5 hours before I start adding more. Just to afraid to let it get down to low.

[HouseHomey]

I tun my bottom vents about 1/4- 1/8 open and my top vents wide open or 75% every time. Minimum 5 hours without question on my 26 with KBB. UP TO 6-7 depending on conditions and temp.

i never, ever want to add more coal to a cook.

Doesn't mean i wont, but I just don't want to and rarely do.

[Jerod Broussard]

8 hrs with KBB. 15 hrs with B & B briquets.

I get about 6-8 on my weber 22 at around 225-235 with blue. I def get longer using weber brand bricks

Thanks everyone.
Looks like I'll go with Weber next time I do an overnight cook so I can sleep.

[JeffJ]

Lately KBB seems to be burning pretty fast. I can get 6-8 hours with Weber briquettes.

[Buck Flicks]

My KBB experience the last 6 months has been the same. They don't last as long as they did a year ago.

Ok, I’m now a firm believer in the Weber charcoal.

Lit 12 briquettes at 9:45pm, filled the rest of the SNS and put 4 apple wood chunks on top, and setup the Smoke to monitor pit temperature at 10pm. Low alarm of 200 never woke me up during the night, and at 7:15 am I could not resist checking the charcoal. Still about 1/4 of the SNS with unlit charcoal! I raked the coals a little, swept the ash, and closed her back up.so right now we are pushing to hour 10, with a steady 225 to 240 range overnight. I’ll add more charcoal in another hour, as these butts are only to 152 right now (started frozen!).

I'm putting on a 11 pound packer tonight and using the Weber briquettes. I'm excited to see my burn times. Although, it's supposed to be raining and 45 tonight.

I ended up refilling the SNS at about 10.5 hours into the cook, as I needed to run to the store and buy ribs that were on sale for $1.77 a pound at Kroger. Ambient overnight here was upper 60’s which probably helped extend burn times. It might have gone another hour without adding fuel.
