    Corned Beef brine w/ pickling spice????

    Buying bulk chunk wood and lump coal

    I live in the Midwest, and we are limited in my area of chunk wood and lump coal. Is there a good site that seeks quality chunk and quality lump coal? Does anyone have a good recommendation for a good chunk wood and lump charcoal brand?

    Thanks JJ..will add pics after. I always dry rub overnight. I wet mop during, with everything I've done so far. Is that necessary. I've seen couple other forums that people squirt bottle. What are your thoughts?
