So I found a BBQ store in our town, and came across some charcoal. Blues Hog Lump Charcoal. Never heard of it. So I figure I'd give it a try.

It has some pretty good chunks, and so far I am happy with what I see. I am smoking a pork shoulder tonight. I packed the chunks by hand to try and get them as tight as I could.

Now my WSM is all buttoned up and smoking.

Oh, and my German Shepherd is on her usual guard duty when I fire up the smoker.

I haven't.  I've used Blues Hog sauces a time or two...really good, and one of the more respected names on the comp circuit, so I'd bet their charcoal is good too.

So far, I love what I see. It burns longer and seems to have a more consistent temp.

The charcoal is a little pricey at $25 a bag, but I think it is worth it. It's a keeper IMO

Saw Blues Hog in my local Ace Hardware today. I'll need to try it after I use my B&B.

A buddy of mine buys the one, it tastes a lot like Doctor BBQ's sweet and sticky sauce from his book.

Canada is expensive because of all government programs there and higher taxes on everything.

Should find out who actually makes it. Probably Royal Oak or Cowboy rebranded.
