    What do you use in your basket? I've been using lump charcoal but it's been burning so fast. Thanks.

    Thanks, I will try that. So far it's been extremely labor intensive for me to try and maintain temps. I have a competition this weekend and am hoping I can keep the traeger in the shed but we'll see.
