Dave Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Cooking 5kg of pork shoulder overnight tonight on a 47 WSM. Should one single layer of beads be enough for this with a mini chimney full to start? These 4kg bags don't seem to go very far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Hi Dave, bit late now but, I would of gone Minion Method, light on end, then what’s left collect and use next time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoogl Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I'd agree with @Smokin Monkey. I'd rather waste some extra fuel rather than have my heat drop/have the hassle of refuelling a WSM mid cook. What did you go with? How did it work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Pretty much used a whole bag but obviously not enough. Was smoking nicely at 230 with the shoulders at 140ish just before 1am but woke at 6:15 to see it sitting the grill temp at around 180... Pork temp was 138 so quickly lit a chimney and got it going again and soon was wrapping at 165. Now sitting at 185 internal just before 9am, just hoping the pork will be ok as it had already hit the ‘safe’ temp of 145 before dipping.

hoogl Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 it should be. I did a 16hr over night cook on 3 pork butts. decided not to wrap pork turned out dynamite. I'm looking forward to updates on yours 📷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 15 hours later and it seems to have worked out well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
