I've been reading up on the minion method before my Pro Q arrives. It seems that most are using briquettes. I do prefer lump, but have had trouble with the fire running away.
Mind you this was on my Bandera. Any suggestions?

Besides using Ono lump one time, we have always used standard Blue Bag Kingsford. We've never had a problem with it and know how it works in accordance with our Pro Q's.
And for our longer cooks, we also use the Minion Method.

I use the minion method with Best of the West lump in my Pro Q, one vent barely cracked and my temps stay around 235.

Allways use minion method in WSM and Pro Q's. It seems our bigger units (22's) get a bit hot at first, so next time we are going to cut baack on amount of hot coals, maybe half a chimmney.

Allways use minion method in WSM and Backwoods. In the WSM we start with no more than 6-8 hot coals.
Usually can get 9-10 hours at 225 without a Stoker.

I always use MM, but rarely use blue bag. I bought 4 cuz they were so cheep. It doesn't seem to be smelling like roof tar this time around. And my knuckles can't distinguish between the heat of a heapin helpin of K briquettes and a heapin helpin of lit BOTW. They both make me back off quickly!!

I use unlit Kingsford Blue Bag mixed with Royal Oak Lump in my Excel 20. I add lit Kingsford.
