30 Gallon
Quote:
I use both a 30 and 55. The 30 gallon barrel, I have cooked up to 60 lbs of briskets and it was full. You will have to hang your meat on hooks to get enough meat. The only issue is finding the room after you wrap your meat. The major difference is the 55 will settle down at a lower temp....the 30 has a hard time getting down and staying below 260. I think this is because of the surface area of the 30 vs 55 and the amount of charcoal. We take our 30 with us camping all the time. Also if you are in to using a fan, the smalll barrel is very sensitive to added air and will ramp up. |

As Cinmur had mentioned, they do get hot quickly so I only use 2. I took the ball valve off the one for something in that picture, which I don't remember why. But generally I have 2 there and once they get to temperature, they hold quite well. But it generally is on the high side. Just start only a few coals and let it slowly get up to temp rather than dump a starter full of them.

Great looking cooker. I also like the adjustable grill height. Where did you get the barrel?
