the wife came home with new bag of lump. she tried but brought home 100% natural hard wood briquets. nature's grilling brand from walmart, my question is , can i use it in the egg??? it says no fillers no chemicals, but want to be sure i have 2 rib eyes ready to go and i dont have time to get a bag of lump from my dealer.

Hmm. I would be leery of the briquettes. Some kind of chemical has to hold all of those little particles together.

@rholt thats what i was thinking too! i dont think im gonna chance it! the steaks will wait till tomorow! at least i learned to post pictures! thanks for the input! =D>

The fillers are stuff like cornstarch. The only issue is there will be more ash than lump due to that. The only briquettes that I would never use is anything with starter fluid. That can cause bad flavors in the food.
The only time I wouldn't use it is on low and slows since the ash could clog the fire grate. -
I would prolly pass or go back to Walmart and trade for some Royal Oak lump.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

No problem using it in the Egg other than the amount of ash it produces. It's a natural briquette meaning it only has a starch binder. Not bad for shorter cooks, but not for long over nighters.

I believe there is a lesson here regarding SWMBO's and BGE's... :)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.

Hmm. Never thought of starch in briquettes. If the whiz says its good to go then I would have to trust him.
-
Tons of ash from them and it won't go completely nuclear but should get ya by in a pinch.
-
Another problem is that they are aren't good for re-lighting. If you stir previously lit briquettes, they crumble.
If you get done with a cook and need to do some egg/plate setter cleaning, now's the time.
