Just to demonstrate how efficient the Primos are, take a look at the pic below. I filled the firebox with lump and about 4 chunks of apple yesterday for the ribs. The ribs cooked for about 5 hours at 235-250 range. I opened the cooker up to reload for todays brisket and to my surprise I still have more than enough for a long brisket cook! So I added 4 chunks of hickory and the brisket is now on. Had this been the WSM I would have used about 1/3 of a bag of Kingsford for the ribs and probably had to use the rest of the bag for the brisket cook. Not bashing the WSM's cause I still love and will use mine. Just wanted to show the efficiency of the Primos.
The brisket is rubbed down with worcestershire sauce and Wolfe Rub Bold.
Briskets on!

You'll really love it on the first cold & windy day. No need for a wind break. That ceramic will chug along like it's summertime in Austin with no noticeable increase in fuel use.
It could be argued that it will pay for itself eventually in fuel savings. That's the line I used to get past the Mrs.

Oh I absolutely 100% agree Dats! It will end up paying for itself and is super easy to clean vs. the WSM's.

Finally got around to posting the pic's from Sundays brisket!
I also took a pic charcoal after the brisket cook and had more than enough to do spatchcock chicken tonight! The Primo is certainly one very efficient cooker! This is the third cook on one load of charcoal and will have more to cook burgers or something later in the week!!
