How many bags of Charcoal you use

EggNorth

Wondering how many bags of Charcoal you go through in a week/month? I seem to me at the 1 bag a week as I use the BGE once a day, every day.

Let's say a BGE bag size - 20Lbs or 9.07kg.

I'm the same . 20 pounds, or so, of Ozark Oak a week.

Little Steven

EggNorth,

I use abot two 8Kg bags a week but I usually light the egg when I get home and don't get cooking til later. If you want some of us can get Maple Leaf at a reduced price.

I cook at least 5 x per week and use less than 10 lbs in my large.

hornhonk

That's one lump I've always wanted to try, Maple Leaf. I've heard so many good things about it.

WessB

20 to 25 bags a year....

FlaMike

I use about 2 bags per month.

I go thru about 60 lbs a month cooking approx four times a week. That's probably a little heavy but I burned my gasket a couple of months ago and have a serious air leak.

kmellecker

Sorry, meant to respond to EggNorth.

Little Steven

Steve,

It is unbelieveable. No sparks, big pieces and a sweet flavour. I have no idea why they stopped exporting. Not like we're short of trees or anything.

1 bag a month. Cook at least once or twice a week.

Rooster K

10-20 lb a month. I use a lot less now that I have a small. :laugh:

EggNorth

Do you find Maple Leaf much different then the Big Green Egg Brand in how it burns? I got a bag of each with my Egg and will just start the Maple Leaf bag today.

ibanda

On my small I could get a 20# bag to last 2 months cooking a couple of times a week. Now that I have a large and use it occasionally, I am burning a bag a month, sometimes more.

Gandolf

Large and Medium Eggs and use prolly 10 to 15 lbs. a week total.

Little Steven

EggNorth,

RO is OK but I find it spits a lot using a mapp torch to light and takes longer to get a clean fire (clear or blue smoke). I don't use a lot of smoking woods and find the Maple Leaf gives a nicer flavour. Try it and let me know what you think. I want to try and make a deal on a pallet.

hornhonk

Steve, can you stuff some in a seabag and come to Plano? Beers on me!

FenwayFinn

I got my Large Egg in mid_June, have cooked on it almost every day and just emptied my 5th 8lbs bag of cowboy lump into it on Sunday.

So I guess that's a little less than an 8lbs bag a week.

Little Steven,

Have you tried any Basques charcoal? When I bought the second egg, I got a bag of the Basque all natural and I found it to be pretty good.

Tom

Little Steven

Tom,

I like the Basques too. Maybe more than ML for the flavour but I can get ML locally without losing an arm and a leg.

Would like to get in on that if possible. Thanks

Little Steven

I am going to find out how much a pallet or two will be. They delivered to my shop in Brampton once before. People can pick it up at their convinience that way.

Steve

Mr Holloway

That would be great, I'm in.

I am on my 5th bag since getiing the Egg July 2 :laugh:

And the honeymoon ain't over yet :cheer:

Thanks Steve
