This stuff is awesome. Opened a bag for the first time and couldn't get over the size of the pieces. One of the ones I dumped in the egg was 10" long and 4 or 5" thick. Really dense wood as well. Mixed it in with some cheaper stuff I have for a turbo butt. Initial impression is that it is better than BGE coal and is the same price.

KJ lump is second only to rock wood in my opinion.

I read the other day they will be releasing another type soon that is referred to as big block.

Red Bags are great, the other colors are so-so, at least as of last year.

2nd only to Rockwood.

I like it. Takes longer to get ready than Rockwood and produces a bit more ash. The deal at Costco can't be beat if you run across a roadshow.
