    I have a new PE Alderlea T6 LE and will be trying for long burns soon. Those of you who have them:
    • How full do you pack them?
    • How close to the baffle plate?
    • How important is it to carefully choose splits that leave air gaps between them?
    • North-South or East-West?
    Thanks.

    Hi Sean. We have the T5 LE and have put 5-6 splits in a few times, I consider the T5 FULL with that. In my particular case, I need to be very mindful of turning my air down on time. I usually use EW for over nights. I have some rather large, rather short splits on reserve for our MN nights
