    New Kingsford Blue Charcoal.....

    Well the RO Steakhouse lighted pretty quick, and like regular RO was good in size as for pieces, very little dust, and no foreign material in the bag I bought. The one problem I am having with Lump coal is the little ash floating in my kettle when I lift the lid almost like a piece of newspaper...

    New Kingsford Blue Charcoal.....

    Just one word of caution with the Stubbs that I have found is.....on initial start up it seems to put off quite a bit more smoke than the Kingsford blue, but once it gets ashed over it is a very clean burning coal with less ash than KBB.....don't let that initial smoke bother ya it will go away...

    New Kingsford Blue Charcoal.....

    I think I will do a test burn with the new blue bag, and a bag of Stubbs, somewhat of a controlled test burn and see what happens.....I'm really kinda stuck on the Stubbs brand of charcoal..... anyone try the green egg lump? That stuff is kinda pricey
