Need help from the experts here on lump with least smoke. My wife doesn't like smoke on poultry and last turkey with RO was to smokey for her. Also, thanks to all for all the great info and recipes i have learned over the last 6 mpnths. I am new to the forum, finally approved after 4 tries

Rockwood, FOGO or Basques maple

Make sure you let the lump burn at the set temp for 30-45 min. Don't forget frequent clean burns and foil your platesetter to keep from burning old grease.
-
Rockwood is definitely a cleaner burn, and quickly. It's clean almost immediately.
-
I usually use RO. I was in a similar situation and switched Charbroil center cut for the last two turks. Pricey, but seemed like less smoke."It's not the beard on the outside that counts, its the beard on the INSIDE."

Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.
Sure wish the buffalo would stream-line the "approval process" for NEO's (New Egg Owners).
Another endorsement for Rockwood.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. -
Royal Oak has a smokey flavor to it even when you let it burn for a while. Rockwood is definitely more neutral and food I cook with it is much more appreciated by my wife than food cooked with RO.Large BGE

How does the Rockwood compare to the BGE brand. My wife would like less smoke from the charcoal too.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

@SaintJohnsEgger BGE is just upsale Royal Oak.
-
BGE lump is manufactured by Royal Oak and is private branded. Thus all the above in reference to RO applies to BGE lump as well. So, go with Rockwood for a more neutral smoke profile.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

Rockwood is great for weeknight cooks. No need to wait for clear smoke. Once you hit your desired temp you can put your food on. Rockwood with the combination of a weed torch and you'll be cooking in minutes

Thanks. I guess I'lll be looking for Rockwood source in Jacksonville. My girls aren't fans of the egg cooks as all they have know is propane grill cooks. The "charcoal" flavor of the food is new to them.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

Definitely another rockwood fan here. My wife didn't like the strong smoky flavor from Bge or ro. Since converting to rockwood I haven't had any complaints. As others have said it's faster to temp and faster to burn off vocs. I also think the Kamado Joe brand is decent too and is in the less smoky category. The pieces were huge so it did take longer to temp. I found it at Costco during the roadshow and got two 20 lb bags for $40

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
for less smoke RockWood is definitely the way to go.

I hate all you for being able to have Rockwood.....so my new personal favorite is Wicked Good Lump.
if you are looking for almost no smoke at all though, there is always Center Cut---and I am NOT being sarcastic!Just bought an Egg? Here is what you get to look forward to now:
Plate Setter, FlameBoss 200, Spider, PSWOO-CI, Additional Rig Shelf for dome cooking, Thermapen, iGrill2, Cast Iron, Blackstone, Cooking Accessories for the Blackstone, Cover for the Egg and the Blackstone, shopping for Rub like a fine wine or IPA, and a new fascination with lump and what brand is the best-all to be debated every Friday Night. Next desires-Joetisceriie, Adjustable Rig, Grillmates, table and more eggs
