Good morning,
I'm sure this question has been asked more then once but I can't seem to find the answer so I apologize if this is a redundant question. My question is this. I'll be smoking a brisket in cold temps this weekend and I don't think I'll be able to get the whole cook done on one full basket of charcoal. When I need to reload, what's the best way to do a reload. Do I reload my basket with unlit charcoal and let it catch from the remaining charcoal that's already in there, do I start the minion method all over again with a dozen or so lit coals, or do I put a layer of unlit down with a full chimney of lit coals? I'll be running my WSM 22 in the 250-275 range. I hope this makes sense and thank you in advance for any advise
