Pork chops

Made pork chop steaks for dinner tonight along with cauliflower and green beans. Dusted with Jane's mixed up salt and adobo seasoning. Cooked 350 direct with Rockwood lump. Also added some apple chips for some added flavor. Made some glaze out of bourbon, syrup, and brown sugar. Excellent dinner. On a side note this is the second time that I have used Rockwood. I like how it holds temp and the lack of a lump flavor. The problem I have with it is that I find it very hard to light. This is the second time that half of the XL failed to light. Any tips besides buying some accessory. I use the fiber starters. imageimageimage<img

    I have no issues using a MAPP torch or oil-soaked paper towels with Rockwood.

    I've never been a fan of starter sticks, especially in the XL.  Unless they have petroleum, they are a fairly low flame and very concentrated.  That's not a good thing in the XL where you have a lot of charcoal in a shallow and wide bowl.  It takes a while for the fire to migrate laterally and the heat to build up.

    The XL's fox box is only 6" deep, so it's hard to take full advantage of products like that since the flames and heat are up and gone.  The Large's fire box is about a foot deep so you get a lot more bang for your buck out of a cube.  Try some of the other methods and I think you'll have better results.

    Thanks for the compliments and the info on the XL.  Since that time I have had less of a problem.  I still use the cubes but take a piece of lump and bridge it across the cube.  It has helped quite a bit but hopefully Santa will help me out a little more.  LOL
