    Little bit of both. Did 230 for 5 hours then wanted toget up to 425 and it would climb. Figure it was clogged. Plenty of lump. So I just moved over to the large and shut it down

    I just did 8 pizzas on the small at 500-550° tonight probably 4 hours with light up / grilling the sausage time before the pizza stone and bricks went in. 

    My large probably 15 hours or so I haven't done a overnighter, I just a get up early and throw it on for brisket and pork butts.

    Having a small rock out 500 for 4 hours sounds amazing!

    The last pizza came off at 425° and it was going down quick but still tasted great. The stone was also getting pretty hot, I had it on three half-pieces of firebrick raised to clear my woo handles and the small / medium 12" pizza stone. I've had trouble getting it above 450° with the bottom stone so I just used one stone and the bricks.

    This was pizza number 6 I stayed outside so some friends had to figure out how to make their own pies. Not that my amoeba looking ones are any better.

    LBGE 18 hrs @ 250 dome, low and slow, lump was gone all the way to the grate in the middle. Temp still held.

    @solson005
    I also was thinking I might have had trouble getting temp up because I had a 12" pizza pan on te grate. Even with everything wide open would have been minimal clearance around that for air.


    Reason I wanted to see what people did was I was curious if larger eggs went longer. Makes sense but lump to area might have some correlation

    something that will increase lump burn times drastically is cooking butts raised direct at a lower temp, first time i tried that i used maybe a third as much lump, bet 60 hours would be possible, thos inderect setups reflect alot of heat down

  • I'm sorry if I don' t a lot post here. I've had my large since last May, and I have done a few cooks on this. I got my large, nest, plate setter, pizza stone and ash tools for 1,150.00 also a free bag of BGE lump. BGE lump. I don't know man must have been a bad bag, I almost took the whole purchase back for a refund. I got on the internet and found this forum, got a lot of useful information thank you. So I brought 2 bags of royal oak knowing that it was made by the same company. What a difference steaks, chicken, hot dogs all short cooks. Yesterday  went to ace  and got a bag weekend warrior, doing meatloaf and sausages rite now. Would like to do a long cook just wanted to what everybody was using for long cooks that's all. Sorry if I offended anyone.

    None taken by any I am sure.

    Weekend Warrior seems to be one of the most preferred brands on here. Good luck with the cook.
