As title really, I smoked a leg of lamb a few weeks ago using cheap charcoal from Asda, I used the whole 5kg bag and lit it using the minion method. I had about 2.5 litres of boiled water in the water pan.
Even with the vents open fully the entire time I could not get the temp to go above 200F and the coals only lasted 4-5hrs (temp dropped even further after the 4hr mark). I'm trying to think why this might have happened, is it possible I put too much water in the water pan?
