I've been using Cowboy Brand lump charcoal for several years now and have had pretty good success with it. The more I read though I see a lot of guys saying it is too ashy. I agree that it does put off quite a bit of ash and I even have to be careful how quick I open up my smoker so as not to create a vacuum that spreads the ash around in my cooking area. There are several other brands of lump available around Omaha but am not sure which one to try. WHAT'S YOUR FAVE?
