HogHeaven said:I beg to differ with you on sorting... I have never had to put lump in even for 16 to 18 hour cooks. Knowing how to fill your fire box makes sure that never happens. Using just small pieces for reverse sears is smart so you use all of that up at about the same time all of your big and medium size pieces are gone. Makes perfect since to me. But... To each their own. Happy Egging and dine well my friends!

Personally I store some at the egg in a Kingsford charcoal bin, they cost around $12 or so, holds most of a bag. The rest is stored in the basement.

I use a metal trash can that I leave on the side of the garage. It holds about three 10 pound bags.LBGE, Stoker WiFi, UDS, Pit Barrel Cooker

I usually buy 30 bags. Stored out back under the patio roof.

Mickey said:@HogHeaven I go with @Aviator. Big fan of dump it in and it all burns. Has always worked for me. Did the sorting once for a month and just could see no differance. I do sort of sort. I reach in one of the Larges to get pre fired lump for the Mini as it lights faster.
The only time I actually worry about what goes in the fire box... Is long low and slow cooks. I start my fire at 10:00pm on those cooks. I put the butts on at about 11:00pm. I stabilize the fire and go to bed at 12:00am. I can sleep good because I'm not going to wonder if my fire is going to go out. My last low and slow was a 16 hour cook and when I was done... I had 25% of my lump left for my next cook. If... I just dumped it in until the fire box was full I would not sleep well. We all have our own ways of doing things. I'd rather spend a few extra minutes to eliminate potential problems, that's just how I roll, in all parts of my life.. Happy Egging my friends, dine well! -
I build for low and slows. Larger pieces (fist sized - don't like anything larger) on the bottom, then fill 'er up. For everything else I dump and go. I have started dumping into a plastic bin, and filling Egg from there, which keeps most of the dust out.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art.
