bought my 1st bag of Wicked, normally used either BGE or RO and I was somewhat surprised on how big the pieces were, I mean like small tree trunks! 2" in dia and 6 or 8" long, very few small or med sizes in the bag, is this normal?

Wicked Good tends to have large pieces which is good for air flow. I like WG especially for low and slows.

not uncommon at all. It's amazing that people complain when the bag comes with dust and then complain (not that you are complaining) when the lump is too big! :laugh:
I've been a faithful user of Wicked Good for years and have never been disappointed when I open a bag yet.

Of course that's on the Mini

not complaining but just surprised, I do more short cooks than low & slow so I am thinking I buy both Wicked & RO and use a mix, RO & BGE have never been "dust" but the larger pieces are few and far between

You can always break up pieces that are really big. You can't reassemble smaller ones.
I usually keep a charcoal bag when it's empty, and put any really big chunks I get from my Wicked Good while doing quick cooks in it to store. When I'm building the fire for my low and slow cooks, I know that I have some nice big chunks ready to go, and I don't need to dig through a bag to find them.

One of the neat products WG has are briquettes made with a binder of flour paste I think. I need to get a couple of more bags to have around. They burn HOT if you want them to and I like to mix them in for lo 'n' slo cooks just for something different.
I didn't notice any more or less ash when I burned them.
Try'um you just might be pleasantly surprised. -
That's all use!

I've never used anything but...so I guess I can't speak to whether it's bad for short cooks...but I actually do many more short cooks than long, and I don't have any complaints. Might take a few more minutes to get going.

Thanks for all the replies everybody, I think I will use a mix of RO and WGWW Did veggie kabobs and a flank steak last night with a 50/50 mix and it worked out pretty good
