    Embers Charcoal Briquette

    I guess i'll just have to tinker with it. 5 hours in and staying around 240 with the bottom vents almost shut completely. Little hotter than I wanted, but keeping great temp.

    Embers Charcoal Briquette

    So, Home Depot was out of the Royal Oak briquettes on Sunday, so I ended up getting Embers. Anyone else used Embers before? I have a 22" WSM and the temp jumped up to 280 within 45 minutes. Closed all the bottom vents and still at 245 3 hours later. I pretty much used a whole 20 lb bag and...

    Thank you all for the input. I looked for Embers Brand, unfortunately they don't sell them anywhere around Kansas City. RO looks like to brand to go to price wise.

    WSM - Fuel

    I wanted to get your opinion about fuel for the WSM. I've read that the WSM is meant to use Kingsford Briquets as fuel, and not lump charcoal. What are your thoughts when it comes to this decision regarding temperature control, flavor, longevity, etc. Appreciate it.

    Dead MES. What to do?

    So with the AMNPS, would I need a new heating element as well? With the mailbox mod, would you still have a heating element inside the mês? Sorry, kind of a newbie, lol! Digging the idea though, just trying to wrap my head around it.

    Dead MES. What to do?

    I have an MES which the control panel and heating element went out, so I just ordered a WSM which should be here in a week or so. So my question is if there'd be any reason to keep the non working MES. Any kewl MODS that could be done with it or just trash it?
