Rockwood Question

AprèsSki

After the last pile of posts about Rockwood on sale at Ace I went all in and bought them out of six bags at my local store.

So far I've noticed a few things; it burns so clean hardly any ash after a burn, it seems to taste better than Royal Oak and the pieces are larger with less dust/powder in the bag.

The one thing I noticed and wasn't expecting but it seems like after I shut down the egg (ceramic cover and close the bottom vent) it keeps its heat for a long time. Has anyone else noticed this? I assume that it is smoldering until all of the O2 is consumed but the temperature stays in the 200 - 300-degree range for a couple of hours.

The ceramics are hot. This isnt unique to Rockwood

I don't think it is unique to Rockwood.  Agree with your comments, my favorite brand for sure!

Sounds more like a hot summertime occurrence, but also check your gasket and the base for any cracks.

I agree Rockwood tastes way better than Royal Oak..
