I was hesitant too about using the minion method, but I tried it on an overnight brisket and it worked great. I do it all the time now and I never have experienced any noxious fumes or off putting smell/taste. It just works; so I keep using it. I have a Weber Smokey Mountain by the way.

I do very few. Looking forward to some spares this weekend. I have a triple rack pack
that needs to be done up. That fact alone also means I get to do some pintos with the
trimmings. So it's all gonna be great, I hope.
