Oh Noes! I wet my lump!

While on vacation in Sedona AZ this past week I noticed bags of 100% mesquite lump in their supermarket, picked one up for $5 and threw it in the back of the truck to try it out on a brisket.  I think it'd been discussed here before but couldn't remember for sure.
 
Anyhoo, I completely forgot about it and ran my truck thru the carwash after the trip.  d'Oh!  The bag got wet but not soggingly so, and I've propped it up to dry.  I'm assuming, as long as I let it dry thoroughly for a week or so, it'll work fine, but I'm not sure.  Anyone experience something similar?

    No experience with car-wash lump but I'm guessing it will be just fine once dried out.  And if not you won't know if it's the lump or the soak... ;)

    It'll be fine.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Cut the bag open set it in the sun......that's about it.  It will dry out pretty quick.

    Otherwise, if you don't want it to be a mess, then just light your leftover lump in the egg, get it hot, then dump a bucket of the wet lump on top.  It will cook the water out and you'll be ready to grill.  Shut her down, and repeat the next time.

    Charcoal is the oldest known manufactured product known to man--not because it *is* the oldest, just because it lasted the longest!!  You can't destroy it unless you burn it up.

    I missed that part......yeah, just open the top so the paper dries and you'll be fine.  The charcoal probably isn't even wet.

    Pretty lousy carwash if a paper bag sitting in the open bed of a pickup isn't soaking wet afterward. :rofl:

    @Dobie   No, the point is that you shouldn't wash the truck!  

    Actually, one of the benefits of living in this hell they named Phoenix, is you don't have to wash a vehicle often.  I haven't washed mine in 14 months, and it doesn't look dirty at all.

    But it's dirty as Shlt, you don't see it because it looks like all the other dirty cars in Phoenix.  "Relativity" ;)

    @bgebrent -  last week I had a customer walk me out to my truck, and she commented on how clean my truck always looked.  I just said thank you, and chuckled as I drove away.
