    It is a pain to refill. You have to find a place to put the meat, deal with a drip pan with hot flammable drippings, then a really hot plate setter or baking stone, add lump, wait for bad smoke to clear and temps to come back up. It's the kind of mistake you make once and learn to fill your Egg properly. ~X(
    May I ask what's in your drip pan?  :-??

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Sure, I had drippings from a multiple butt cook in mind. That burns good when spilled onto the firebox & up the side of the fire ring. Don't ask me how I know :-\"

    That's interesting... how long between cooks. Doesn't it begin to turn a little rancid after a while?

    Multiple butts on one cook. I empty the drip pan between cooks.

    I should have read more carefully... you wrote "multiple butt cook" not "cooks".

    @TwoCooks-here's a link to a great intro site for all things ceramic-

    http://www.nakedwhiz.com/ceramic.htm  In the recipe section under pork you will find the Elder Ward posting about setting up your fire for low&slow cooks-very detailed and may be more effort than you are looking for but a good benchmark.

    Congrats on the cook. Now that you've done, regular, and sittin' chicken, then next step is a game changer IMHO.

    I had same issue on my first cook with lump. Just fill it out to at least the fire ring level (the ring above the box) and you shouldnt run out of lump.

    You should be ashamed of yourself! 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
