With my uds I rarely ever have to add coal. I can fill my basket and easily get a 12 hour smoke. In the rare chances I do add I just set the grill grate in my webber and dump some in. The whole process takes about two minutes.

I vote for the uds. Huge capacity with a small foot print. Another advantage is you can upgrade/ modify as you go. Minimal investment to get you off and running. Here is mine
