Hello all,

This morning when I was cleaning the firebox out, I noticed a couple of solid items of what looked like rock among the pile of ash in the firebox.  I recently switched brands of lump charcoal, but have never noticed this before.

Has anyone else noticed rocks among their ash when using lump charcoal?

I am assuming that these pieces are part of the chemical reaction of the carbonization of the lump coal.

But, they look a lot like the landscaping rock that I have in the backyard.

BTW, I am attempting my first smoked ground turkey meatloaf.  Wish me luck!
 
Thanks for the replies!

No, I thought about the bacon weave, but trying to stay healthy (ironically enough with the sides we eat with the meat I smoke), I decided against the bacon weave.  I mixed jalapenos, onion, green pepper, garlic, and the other standard ingredients in with the ground turkey meat.  And, plan to top it with BBQ sauce 1/2 hour before I pull it off the smoker for a little more taste.

I will post pictures when the cook is complete.

Thanks for the PM tips Danny!
