charcoal ???

[bob hines]

what charcoal do you use

 

[fire it up]

Kingsford cause it is cheap and good.
Used to use Stubb's when I burned a lot of charcoal but now that I burn 90% wood and use coals as a starter and occasional booster I go with Kingsford blue.

Me Too..... I burn only wood in my Lang but if I use charcoal for anything its Kingsford for me

Always use lump. Hasty Bake (Ozark Oak) if I can get it. B&B otherwise.

Charck out:

GFS lump. It's made by Royal Oak.

 

[ol' smokey]

Kingsford for me.

 

[Brackness]

Kingsford for me.. easiest to find around here

 

[vince]

Royal oak or B&B lump and wood, mostly wood

during the winter when lump sometimes isnt as easy to find I will use Kingsford competition briquettes(not the blue bag stuff). Works ok, but I prefer lump.

I use RO lump 99% of the time.

Wicked Good Weekend Warrior Lump. Have about 35 bags of it right now. Also have a bag of Humphrey's Lump to try when it's a bit warmer.

I burn both lump and briquettes. For a short hot cook I use lump, mainly RO, and for longer burns I use briquettes. Right now I have the Sams choice brand, I know some will think that's bad but it is made by RO and does a good job.

 

[chisoxjim]

how much does that cost a bag rick?

 

[rickw]

It's a bit under 6 bucks at Walmart.

 

[chisoxjim]

sounds good, whatever works is all that matters.

Royal Oak. It seems to be in good supply around here. I picked up some jst yesterday (10lbs. for $6).

I had trouble finding RO lump for about a month before x-mas until a few weeks ago @ my local Super Walmart, they condensed the bbq area down to make room for x-mas junk. Now the bbq stuff is slowly being brought back into stock & the RO is back.

 

[rdowens]

That's where I am getting it too, although there's a supermarket that carries it too, although it tends to be the imported woods. I have had some disappointing bags from the market.

B4 Christmas, Walmart had all of their RO on a pallet about 15 feet in the air. They were more than happy to send a guy up there and unload eight bags for me. Yesterday I noticed they had moved one of the pallets down to the floor. :)

good tip, maybe next year if I dont see it ill ask, although at my local wSuper walmart it is tough to find any help.

 

[rickw]

It's always in stock in the Morris store Jim.

Thanks rick, Ive been there and not seen it on occasion (I dont like the Morris Super Walmart too much, no beer..

), I hit the Menards instead for some.
