    Made a Long Burning Charcoal Basket for my Firebox

    I'm curious to see if this basket helped you?  Mine is 12"x12" and 6 inches deep, and man did it help me.  Not only did it cut down some on the fuel usage, but also help to maintain the heat.  I cooked 3 boston butts last week for 14 hours and used 2-20 lb bags of charcoal.  of coarse I used...
