That’s the sexiest bag of charcoal I’ve ever seen.

I’m a kingsford man

 

[PawPower1981]

Kingsford or royal oak for hardwood lump

I’m lazy, so it’s natural gas for me.

 

[TheNJNole]

JD burn long and hot.

As I'm out of JD until Tuesday's delivery, I'm using Argentinean Fogo lump today....

KC style pork chops, a few whole chicken breasts, veg medley and mac n cheese.

Jack n Coke to start in an hour....still lawn time

I am partial to Kingsford Professional for briquettes. Looking for a new lump charcoal, because Royal Oak seems to have nosedived in quality IMO.

BGE usually. In a pinch I will grab whatever hardwood they have at Publix. I don't know why, but I can get BGE charcoal hot AF and I can also keep my fire lit with the coals at 200. I just like it.

I use the green egg brand. I can buy it local and it’s not that much more

And there you are on your knees.... blowing everyone like a champ

I've used this and I recall it being pretty good, extruded Briquette like Kings for if I recall correctly, just quite a bit larger

I burn through 15 plus bags s year, maybe 20 , running smokers and grills and I've gone away from lump and back to Kingsford

It's just so consistent and dependable

I may do 2 bags a year.

Did Fogo for dinner.... great

Kingsford is just so easy & consistant. Tastes good enough. I do mix smoke wood in with it though, peach & hickory.

I've tried to do the natural charcoal but its iffy. I'll burn tons of wood all year. I have gathered up the charcoal left in the bottom and saved it up. It is so difficult to get a consistent burn like with Kingsford. It might be because its different types of wood or I haven't figured out how to use it properly but it goes from hot to too cold really quick.

 

[CadetHawk]

B&b lump with hickory and oak splits.

I will add. I put apple tree and peach tree sticks in water over night and then add them to the charcoal after its gray. You get a little flavor off that. The apple trees not as much as the peach trees.

Why do people think it's good to soak the wood in water? It just gives you bad smoke, and a lot of it.
