It's amazing the frequency with which this topic rears its ugly damned head. RW fan here, but why would anyone care. Burn what you like.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

I have a guy who sells the best stuff out of his car trunk. He swears it is made by unsullied Brazilian maidens in the interior forests of Venezuela. Best stuff I have ever used. Pricey, but it will turn choice brisket flats into SRF Gold packers. Just simply amazing.A bison’s level of aggressiveness, both physical and passive, is legendary. - NPS

Love that guy. He will also get scratches out of your paint job, almost like magic!

How rare to find a lump thread!!
Here's my back yard. See that bag next to the Egg?
I don't always use Rockwood, but when I do, I can't taste it.

BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe.
Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

I don't like the thick mesquite lumps“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

I like B&B hickory in the green bag at $15.99 a pop at Academy Sports.

Cluke said:What other charcoal do you like to use besides the BGE brand?
I buy the same lump in the red bag called Royal Oak. About 1/2 the cost of Rockwood. I use a chimney starter and when I dump that, its burning clean. No 15 minutes of gray smoke. It is ready to go when dumped. Charcoal is basically charcoal; no real difference. Because lump charcoal is not 100% charcoal, there are differences. Most lump is only about 80% charcoal and that's why there are differences. The higher the content of charcoal of the lump the easier its able to break into smaller pieces during shipping. Getting larger pieces means it's less carbonized or was treated much better from the factory to your door. -
