You went digging and couldn't come up with the Mangrate post?Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -

We are just getting started and wonder if we need to store the charcoal in something airtight?
I store mine year-round (Minnesota) in a 32 gallon Rubbermaid trash can. That will hold 40 lbs of lump. -
If I remember correctly @stlcharcoal said not to store in airtight containers something to do with moisture build up or something. He should be along shortly to either tell us one way or another.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

As for Kingsford, I heard that they use a petroleum product in the manufacturing process. If that is correct and since ceramic is a porous substance, it would seem that the petroleum taste would possibly get into the egg.

I am far from Canada, but have tried the ROAD around here and it's ok for the money, but I prefer Rockwood at $7 more a bag. I get more cooks out of the Rockwood too then the RO. If I had to choose between RO and BGE I would go with RO.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

I used up my Kingsford Competition Briquettes that I had left over from my WSM with no problems. Just shop vac out the bottom before the next use. A far as lump goes I switched to Rockwood and have no complaints.Dearborn MI

I am also interested in the science behind this; I get a very dramatic smoke ring on my WSM with kings ford and not so much on Kamado with hardwood lump.Kamado Joe Big Joe, Classic & Junior -
I love it when somebody bumps an old thread and people start commenting on it like its a current event. $#!+ is funny. )Steven
