I have used the minion method a handful of times with pretty good results. But I want to fine tune the method for consistency.
I am using an All Seasons Feeders offset 3/16 steel with 24 x 20 cook chamber & firebox, which I have sealed using Lavalock nomex.. I am currently using a 12x12x6 expanded metal basket (made from plans I got from this forum), which seems to be a bit small for extended burns.
My questions are...
1) What size basket should I use for smokes up to 10-12 hours
2) I have seen a couple of minion methods. One being put lit coals on top, another other putting the coals on the side nearest the air intake, and one using a maze. Which one of these gives the optimum results?
Thanks for the help.
