ih303 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 How many rounds of coconut coals do you guys usually get from a small phunnel or Harmony bowl before you consider it "cached"? And by cached, I mean the point when you want to pack a new bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 2-3 on my mini before I switch. Flavor usually dies out for the minis by then but if i Just want smoke, I keep going. Small probably 3-4 OG Large I have gotten 8 without losing flavor. Wish I had the time for that now a days!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Same as Stuie. I don't use coconut coals much anymore, but when I do it's usually 3 stonehenged on a tang small for the first round, then usually switching from that to two laying down on the outer edges after that.

mustang67n Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 what stuie said.. But not what Ty said. I don't stonehenge at all. Just two on the opposites of the bowl layin flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The only reason I stonehenge 3 is because it works out to being just a bit hotter than 2 flat, which is nice to get the bowl started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I do the same as Dizzbizz. I do two flat on my Minis and Smalls. Usually use a windcover with the Small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sharrp SYBIAN Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 hmm i never used my small yet but i get 2-3 rounds from my harmony. Only 1 round from my alien bowl maybe 1.5 if i'm lucky lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm using my small right now. I'm currently at 3 rounds. Two CCN laying flat all rounds. It could go 4 or maybe 5 without me wanting to change it. However I only have enough coal for this round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually the big reason I have a problem with them. With a deeper bowl, the top can get dried out, but the lower sections that are heating up with boil juices up to keep that top layer moist for much longer. With the alien, that doesn't happen much. That's a big part of why that bowl smokes so much better when it's overpacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my alien I always get two consistent rounds with coconut coals, that is if I don't move them after I ash them, and then put the second round on the areas not previously smoked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I do the same as Dizzbizz. I do two flat on my Minis and Smalls. Usually use a windcover with the Small. And I forgot to say how many rounds I go... On my Pico I go 2-3 rounds of coals. On my Minis or Small I can go way more than that. I once went 8 hours on my Mini. Hell of a night... Alien is a poorly designed bowl because it ignores the whole proper depth-to-width ratio, resulting in a way too shallow and way too wide bowl. No thanks.

Three sets of coals and I call it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted a mini bowl because I was tired of using my small and not smoking it all. However, my pico soon take over once I got it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
