In the lump world sometimes it can "be too big" but you can always alter the size with a good hammer. The reverse doesn't work-I am a big fan of WGWW for low&slows. Just wish it wasn't quite so $$$.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

My first bag was the same. Some of it was too big. Second bag this weekend was very disappointing. A few fist sized chunks and the rest just broken to small pieces.

Small pieces should not be a disappointment. If your egg is properly cleaned you shouldn't have any problems. You may notice a little slower start. In my experience smaller pieces seem to allow the fire to burn even, and have that clean smell quicker than the logs. Just my .02 FWIW.

I agree with brownie. Smaller pieces make for a uniform fire.ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante

Me too. I get those bags of best of the west that has football sized pieces n them. I hit them with a pick axe to break them up. Huge pieces are not great for uniform firesKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
I used to only use Royal Oak in the Green Bag. I switched to WGWW and find it is much bigger chunks, burns longer and the cost per cook isn't much different despite the price.

I drank the forum kool-aid and picked up my first 2 bags of WGWW today. I'm curious to see if it's worth the extra over the Wal-Mart RO.XL BGE

a single 20 pound chunk would make for a poor fire. and twenty one-pound chunks would be undesirable too. you need small to medium pieces for bridging, and allowing the fire to travel by contact.
a few decent sized chunks are good for placing on the fire grate to permit max inflow of the air, but if you have nuthin but big stuff, yer gonna have a weird fire

Where do you purchase WGWW?
-
It still burned well. I am not sure it is worth the premium price though. Wicked Good is $1.14/lb. I can get Wegmans Grocery brand for $0.60/lb. I went to Dizzy Pig to get rub and wound up getting rubs,chips,chunks,sauce,and WG lump. Good thing I ran out of money

I bought 3 bags WG and got a discount worked out at 77 cents a poundLynnwood WA
