If the temps are starting to drop off, I'd take a look through the door to see what it looks like in there. If the coals are about spent, I'd make a wild guess at how much it'll take to finish the cook. Half a chimney? More? Then I'd put that much charcoal in the chimney and get it started. Finally, I'd transfer the lit coals gently into the cooker. (When I asked Griff the same question, he said he uses a fireplace shovel, and that's what I do too.) Good luck on the finish!Cliff H. said:If the temps start to fall and more fuel is needed, how much fuel should I add this close to the end ?
Lit or unlit ?

Unlike most wsm users, I started the cook at 10:00am instead of 10:00pm, So then I was up till 1:30am the next day cuz I didn't get to 195ish until almost 16 hours later. Slept from 2-6, got up and pulled four butts. Went back to sleep at 7am. Woke up at 9:00am.
OK that adds up to more than 4.
