For those of you BBQ'ing over the weekend...

Not to be a smart ass, but what's the difference quality wise?

Do you want bologna, or brisket. Sure, they are both meat, and both can make a sammich. One is processed, the other isn't.

Is your name Hank?

Damn it, Bobby.

Sounds like I can cook brisket on bologna if I'm reading this correctly.

Hellz yeah! Both work, just different. Good lump coal also as less ash, burns up better.

[Randy]

Yep. You can also pay online and pickup in store. I bought 3 of them that way with no trouble.

Wish we had our old meat hook-up

I got a bag of that a few weeks ago, good stuff! Can't beat the price! I was reading some grilling forums, Dragons Breath, Wicked Good are also good brands, but can't find them around here. Cowboy brand (sold at HD) was rated as crap. A lot of "trash" or non coal in it, small pieces and sparked a lot.

Think that was the problem i had last time when i bought Natural lump coal.... pieces were tiny and they pretty much sucked. So i stuck with kingsford.... now i might have to splurge one time and try a higher quality coal then.

Have you tried CL?

[bcoop]

Good to know..

You also should not use lighter fluid on lump charcoal. Start it with a chimney.

Thank you much!
Just got 240lbs worth!


I'll mix it with the Royal Oak lump that I already have.

Don't use that shit (Kingsford) on your BGE.

My chimney in my house? Seems unconventional, but I'll give it a shot..

Charcoal chimney and a starter...weber makes these little marshmallow-looking starters that you can get at Home Depot and probably anywhere else...I think there are 12 or so for $3.

Yeah, I've read some are really crappy and about %20 dust/tiny particles that won't burn. That Stubbs brand so far has been really good, especially for 34 lbs @$16 in Southlake.

Yes, it is tricky, but you have to be careful if you have carpet indoors!

I use those little fire starters, like little squares of cardboard with something soaked into them. Guy at the BBQ store said they were good for lump coal in a BGE, and he wasn't kidding! Similar to these on Amazon, and also some chimneys there if ya want one of those.

The stuff that crackles like crazy is probably mesquite...no matter if it's fresh or lump, mesquite seems to always do that.

I use those with my chimney starter. Beats messing around with newspaper and lets me put some more charcoal under my chimney. It's like 3-4 bucks for 24 of them.

[jyro]

when will the EPA ban it too?

[Baron Von Crowder]

I grabbed a handheld propane torch for lighting charcoal in the chimney, it works like a champ.
