WGWW - Is this typical?

SmokinDAWG82 · December 2012

Just bought my first bag of Wicked Good Lump and first 2 chunks on top are huge, one looks like an old fence post. Will have to take a hammer to them. Is this typical?

Take a hammer to 'em. No, its not unusual for WGWW.

As Fred says-not unusual...you can always make the big pieces smaller with the calibrated hammer, reverse; no such luck. And it is about the most "smoke-neutral" lump I have used. Takes a while to get burning but leaves very little ash compared to other brands.

That's all I use! Every bag I buy has a LOT of lump that size. My favorite lump!

I'll use my electric Hammer drill and I'm sure it will be fine

That's why I use RO.

They make a meat glue, don't they make a lump glue? :D

I buy cowboy for my mini and small and wicked good for my large and XL. Just put the huge pieces to the side for overnighters.

Always have some big pieces with WGWW. Break them up with a hammer and chisel and never use anything bigger than fist sized. The really big pieces seem to create cool spots. Seems like fist size and below gives a more consistent burn.

Large pieces, small amount of ash. I also agree with the comment about being "smoke neutral". I have had no problems baking even sweet dishes with WGWW. As long as you warm up the Egg properly, there is no smoke flavor on my baked goods.

None better for low and slow!!! The Best out there. RO has turned into dust/tiny pieces.

I use a welding slag (sp) hammer to break mine up. Dedicated to this, just leave it laying right on top of my lump. Pointed end breaks it real good and not much dust.

SWATSgt · February 20

I do the same as others, I will lay the biggest pieces aside for long cooks. But even some of them have to be broken up. By no means have I been doing this as long as most on here, but of the 5 or 6 brands I have tried its the best burning and cleanest. When Ace had the 50% off sale I stocked up using every email address I had including my wife's and scored 4 bags for under $45.00 :D

I have not tried Cowboy yet, it is on my list to buy next time I am in Lowes

I have two kingsford containers, one for those large chunks and the other for regular. After a clean vaccum, I load the large chunks on the bottom and then build up. Sometimes in a long slow burn, I add a couple of those mammoth ones. Its nice to separate and have available.

IrishDevl · February 20

That us my favorite lump, but I do mix in just a bit if RO as kindling to get it started. Nothing better than WW

Howdy, Stranger!
