I'm new to all of this but i bought some Kingsford Charwood the other day and It was really fine and dusty, and like I said I'm new but my temps weren't real stable either....

I picked up some BGE but Thats really pricey, probably won't but it again..

Use this site. Yes you got some bad stuff, I use R.O. and am sticking to it.

I'm with Flagriller on this one. I've used Royal Oak exclusively with 2 exceptions, once with Kingsford and once with Cowboy brands. I will continue to use only Royal Oak as long as I can buy it. It seems to burn more evenly and the ash build up is very minimal.
