I've done it a couple of different ways but this is tonight.  Less than 5 hours and i have enough lump for a few weeks at minimum and it's really really good stuff.   It's done but cooling, i'll post pics later. 



 
I am in for the done pics.

This small 20 gallon can isn't going to make a bunch but it did a couple of bags worth. This is the first time using branches...the pieces are a bit smaller this way but it's still bigger than RO I buy. 


A couple pieces refused to carbonize but they'll go back in for the next batch


The mini filled up for the next cook!
