@Ozzie_Isacc ... go into teaching? Really can't see you taking a vow of poverty.
Now back to lump ... can't get rid of either of my large eggs. Got more invested in Tom's stainless than the original cost of the eggs. If I bought a mini-max, do you think I could recover my investment before I kick the bucket?
If I switch to all oak, then I can get some off my neighbor's tree ... slowly and at night so he won't notice that his tree is offering less shade. That would add some cost savings to the mix. Can you run those numbers through the company's Cray and see what the results are?

I have never used FOGO so I cannot comment, but the large piece on the left from the RW didn't look brown in person and was burning clean by the time my egg was to temp.
All the pieces had the classic "tin" sound when you tapped them of carbon.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.

The mini-max actually makes lump. I've heard it only makes RO though. So you will have to keep removing the RO to add your RW.

You'd think the mini-max would rise to the occasion and produce Nature Glo ... at least in this area Nature Glo wasn't too bad of a lump ... certainly better than Wally World's RO.
Oh well, with all of the burning leaves around here right now, producing more RO certainly wouldn't be appreciated.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Thanksgiving with @Jeepster47 and @Ozzie_Isaac

I use Frontier, it burns hot if you need high heat, and it will burn for a long time low and slow. I did a 20 hr cook with consistent temp control at 250-275.

You people have spent a small bundle on an Egg and then search for and squabble about "the cheapest best charcoal" are amusing.

Would love to do a side-by-side at an eggfest gathering using RO, RW, and wood on two eggs. Half the damn time, you're lucky to get your chunks to even light with such a small fire to control.
Truly an honor, to be surrounded by such refined charcoal and wood palettes. lmao
You guys crack me the f up, often. love this place.

@lit that small "crap" burns fine. Ahh lump wars. Heck I reuse lump from the LG to the MM all the time. What is it that you dislike about RW? Attention: this is NOT a pissing match. I can't comment on FOGO.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL
