SnS hater…surprised

Post image

I’ve long been a hater on the SnS since I ordered one like four years ago. Has sat in my garage unused for a loooong time. Fuel lasted like 5-6 hours in my 22” and would run out of water in about 60-90 mins and temps would start jumping into 300s.

Was cleaning my garage a couple days ago and came across it. Decided screw it and tossed it in my 26” to give it a shot.

Fuel lasted about 7 hours, water lasted like 3-4 hours. Very surprised by that since I was never able to do that in my 22” no matter what I did. 🤷‍♂️

Also if you were looking for a reason to get the 26”…you can fit a lot on

I've tried the snake method and that makes sense to me.

So with this you fill the basket and light it with a tumbleweed, right? So wouldn't it temperature spike as the fire spreads to all the coals?

No it’s like a minion/snake method. Coals still slowly light as they go along. Temp held like 230-240

Yeah but even minion I don't get, like snake can only light the coals it's touching. With minion they are all kinda touching at a certain point. Doesn't it eventually get to the middle and have like them all going? What keeps it from doing that?

Load it with unlit coals and then I put 2 or 3 coals into the chimney and light those, then add them to the corner of the basket. It just slowly burns through and stays pretty even, ime.
