I recently got a bag of barrel char while judging a BBQ contest in Bardstown, KY. Decided to cook salmon tonight and seem like a perfect fit for it. Tonight was also the first cook on my new gasket. I have had the thing for over a year and just finally got it installed. I spread a layer of the char in an aluminum pan. Once the Egg got up to temp I put the pan in and waited for it start smoking. I cooked the salmon indirect for around 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Probably should have given it closer to 20 but it was still good. It had a nice smoke flavor but wasn't over powering. Look forward to trying it again 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.

    I've done non-charred barrel chips and liked them but I haven't tried these charred ones.  Thanks for the tip, I'll have to give them a shot.
