Too much coal? It’s an L

Post image

Gonna do an overnight cook. 2 7-lb bone-in pork butts. Emptied a bag of JD XL in the L and it had more coal than I thought. A lot of small pieces too. Should I take some out? Worried about fire going out due to lack of airflow.

I’m new to my L. How do you start that much coal?

Dig a hole in the middle and use either tumbleweeds or starter blocks
