Four hours and counting...

 The Smokenator is proving to be an awesome accessory to have in your arsenal. About 50 coals have provided four hours of 220-240 degree smoking so far, and some of them haven't even caught "fire" yet. It's a bit unwieldy to work with under the main food grate so it'll take a few more runs before I've mastered where the coals and chunks go to require as little maintenance as possible, but per the manufacturer instructions I only lit about a dozen coals and added them to the unlit ones, meaning the unlit ones slowly catch on over a few hours. My baby backs are taking much longer than I would have hoped for, but when they eventually finish I'm sure they're going to be incredible. More to follow!
