Why does nobody talk about the fuel consumption on those massive competition rigs?
I read a blog post from a guy who tracked his usage and he burned through 40 pounds of lump charcoal for a single brisket cook. Has anyone else measured their fuel use for a long smoke?

Holy cow, that's a ton of charcoal. I used a whole 20lb bag of briquettes for a pork shoulder on my offset last weekend. It adds up fast, especially if you're fighting wind or cold weather. That's the real hidden cost they never show on TV.

Actually, lump charcoal is lighter than briquettes, so 40 pounds is a huge volume.
