    If it helps, I loaded mine with about 150 pieces last night, still going.

    Wife cleaned up the area I saw slab bundles. Boxes of wood chunks and shards. I just grabbed handfuls until it was full. Ugliest mess I've ever seen but still coals after 21 hrs. Dave's catching it early this year.

    That is an awesome load of wood you have packed in there! That is easily 3 full loads for me. Amazing. Would love to own a BK King one day; I've been fascinated by them ever since reading a thread where some guy packed one to the gills with CWF bricks and it burned for 50+ hours.
