I recently acquired a 275 gallon oil tank pig roaster. It has 2 charcoal baskets in the bottom and a cooking grate. I have not had the chance to put fire to it. One potential concern I have is will i be able to cook at 225-250 with heat directly under the meat. My concern is that the heat will be to intense. One thought is to put a deflector plate between the cooking grate and the charcoal baskets, or only use one charcoal basket, but then I will limit my cooking area. I will probably know more once I light it up for the first time. Am i over thinking this?
