How long does lump last, you ask?
Here is approximately what I started with...
Here it is after the cook (before stirring)...
And finally, after stirring to shake off the ash...
A forty hour cook doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility, now does it?
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Wow! I might have to give the wicked good a try. You barely put a dent in it!Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

I have had a full load of Ozark Oak go 32 hours.
Had a load of WG go 26 and it was mixed with Ozark Oak. -
Forgot to mention that the stuff I topped it off with before I took today's pics is Royal Oak, not WG. 100% WG for the cook though.

Well, that's been my longest cook. And probably will BE my longest, give or take. I had plenty left, and could have added plenty more up front. Just thought a visual might be helpful for some.
What do you cook that takes longer than 22 hours?! Aged ribeyes?I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Impressive. I have not tried a cook longer than 8 hours yet.

my first butt i did following the method on whiz's site. dome was 225, so the butt took almost 24 hours. :blink: my buddy had an egg, and had a brisket that he was doing, and was coming over for dinner. his was running slow too, so he brought it here to finish.
i took my butt off and his brisket went on. it took forever to come back to temp and finish. 8 hours. we sliced it and he had to go home...
it was about 32 hours easy. the same lump cooked chicken, then steaks, then one more cook before i added lump. i had filled it pretty good since it was my first overnight.ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -
Michael,
Here's a small egg after about a 13 hour butt cook, so maybe a 14 1/2 hour total burn time. pre-stir (with Wicked Good)

I'm new to this so forgive my question if it sounds silly.
My bag of charcoal has pieces that are twice the size of my fist, should I break those up or leave them like that?
Thanks!
