I have a wood fired pizza conversion kit for my weber 22" kettle grill. Using hardwood lump, I can get temps of 700-750 degrees. However, I am finding I can go through one 20 lb bag every two cooks after using the chimney to start the wood and then dumping it onto more hardwood lump before placing the kit and stone over the grill.
Would putting charcoal in the chimney and then dumping it onto the hardwood, while then placing some oak chunks on the hot coals give me the same 700+ degree temps?
How much hotter does hardwood burn than regular charcoal?
Charcoal is much cheaper in my area than hardwood lump.
