First cook with Rockwood

I cooked for the first time using Rockwood. Chicken on Saturday and ribeyes on Sunday. 

I am impressed. I have never used anything but BGE lump. I noticed the absence of the white smoke that I was used to when letting the BGE lump get to temp. I also noticed that I never smelled the chemical smell that I did when I used BGE lump. 

It got to temp fast and, it seemed to burn more evenly than BGE brand. I did use more than I do when I cook with BGE lump, but I attribute that to the fact that it burned more evenly. 

Overall I am very satisfied. I plan to order at least one pallet soon.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    @sgh - I don't know what you have been burning but the only lump that I have burned that is close on neutrality and burn clean as fast as Rockwood would be Ozark Oak. You won't be sorry for a Rockwood purchase.
