Briquettes Funny Story
OntarioDave
Posts: 19
I accidently bought a bag of briquettes instead of lump. After a cook the other day, I dumped half the bag on top of lump.........those briquettes ran at 400 degrees choked down to 2 screens widths..........the next morning (12 hours later) it was still 325.
holy crap they burn hot and long.......and a ton of ash.

The only downside to briquettes is the amount of ash they leave.

I will go to my grave saying the best way to cook pork chops or drumsticks is on weber with Kingsford Blue Bag.

And yes it had to do with beliefs, respect, and social behavior issues and not Kingsford and charcoal lighter fluid. -

I use Kingsford blue bag for most cooks. I like the taste of it better Than lumpsI XL and 1 Weber Kettle And 1 Weber Q220 Outside Alvin, TX-- South of Houston

I keep around 100# of Kingsford Blue on hand at all times- I have never had to throw away the bottom 1/4 of the bag due to being small crushed pieces. The ash is certainly a lot more than lump charcoal- but I get the added benefit of cook consistency.
-
I have cooked with both in my lifetime, my preference is for 90% carbonized charcoal, preferably lump made from high quality hardwoods, leaving little or no flavor to the dish, and adding the smoke flavor I choose, using select types of smoking woods.At one time Kingsford Blue Bag was just what you did because that is what your dad always did. I know, I did it.Then I started becoming interested in pit grilling.I am the first to tell you I accumulated so much data from a lot of people. Getting into the BGE time burning, money evaporating cult, my cooking game, not only stepped up, the folks eating it appreciated the effort a bit more.
If your family and loved ones think it is the best, that is all that matters. It can be, if you are not mentally incompetent and O.C.D. like me.
But, if it can be so much better, is it a bad thing to do so for your family and loved ones?I think it is worth it. (The O.C.D. Me)"Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

@YukonRon - Glad you are back engaged with the forum. Hope all is well. An early "Happy Thanksgiving" to you and your family.
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
I gotta say - I’ll eventually put one of those “city park“ outdoor rebar grills in the backyard. The smell of the inefficient smoke and lighter fluid just screams neighborhood party to me.Large BGE and Medium BGE
