Yes, lot of briquettes, most other folks use rib stands to load up the
cooker. I don't have a rib stand yet. Also, some add a second grill for
things such as chicken wings but as for all double stackers you'll lose
a lot of heat on the upper level if you try to cram too much on the
lower level.

I made up my mind about making when I saw a lot of activities going on
with them at this web site, search on 'big drum' after you log in to web
site, go to discussion section: 'Q-Talk'

There are also a ton of pictures there of food results and of
construction. Follow links contained within some of the posting too.
