Can the small BGE hold enough lump for an overnight cook?

    I heard different takes on this, one told me it holds 8 hrs worth, so not really.  But someone on hear, I can't remember who said this is absolutely not true and they did a 14 hr cook no problem.  I would assume some good long burning wood and you can (Weekend warrior or such).

    So it looks like a turbo-butt is in order instead of a low and slow.

    I wouldn't count out a low/slow yet.

    I did (2) 8 pound shoulders in my small once on their sides. I don't remember the exact time but it was around 12-14 hours. It will go much longer than 8 hours if you fill it all the way to the top of the fire ring. I also did 8 pounds of pulled beef once when camping which was also more than 8 hours.

    I've done a few long cooks in my Small.  My longest was 10 1/2 hrs using Wicked Good Weekend Warrior hand stacked mid way up the fire ring.  I had enough lump leftover to go at least another couple of hours.
