Hope this is the right spot to ask this question ... anyways here we go.
I read online, not here but on some other site about mixing lit and unlit charcoals. It was in regard to a WSM (which is what I also am using) they stated that you put 50 unlit briquettes on the bottom of your pile and then add 50 lit ones. This way the lit coals will slowly light the bottom coals and keep your heat going for a long time as the day progresses. This is using regular Kingsford briquettes. My question is, will this lead to off tastes in the meat or do you only get that with Matchlit type briquettes (ones with fluid added already).
Would you say this is OK to do or is it best to just keep adding already lit coals to the chamber as the day progresses?
