      What!?  You guys have been saying not to over handle meat, now you are saying deliberately manhandle meat?
       I'm a big fan of manhandling my meat...

      Seriously? Take the fuel you use.  Know how it burns. Manage your protein. Remove when ready. Nobody likes over Smokey food. The WSM forum was less complicated than this.

      It is because they are all hacks.  Especially the virtual bullet forum.

      Don't tell your problems to people.  80% of people don't care and 20% are glad you have them.

      Lol man.  Everyone has opinions when it comes to lump, but I’m not sure all opinions are created equal.  My take is people should try different kinds and buy what they like best and can afford.  For me personally, that’s Rockwood, but to each his own.    Some will find it less smoky than other brands, while others won’t.   Such is life.

      But posting a new thread just to bash a product?  That I’ll never understand.

      i just use cowboy lump.....years ago i took meatloaf to the deli sliceable stage, 1/16 thin slices on the meat slicer.  use less crumbs, descent fatty burger, over work it like mentioned. do all that AND dry roast the onions and peppers OR used the dehydrated onions.  if the recipe has a cup of bread crumbs cut it 50/50 with the dehydrated onions.  you can also partially freeze a standard loaf, the outer crust builds up better that way to hold it together on the grill

      As far as crumbling meatloaf, I always put my meatloaf in a pan layered with saran wrap and chill it for a couple of hours.  When I take it out and put on the egg, it comes out like a brick!  Never had it crumble.

      Are you using a sharp knife to cut your loaf?  I can see where a dull knife would break up the loaf instead of just slicing through it.

      Even with neutral Maple Leaf lump, I find chicken cooked in BGE noticeably smokier the day after.  I now cook poultry almost exclusively in Traeger, IMO leftover chicken taste more flavourful, not smokey. After all, pellet grills are also known as 'outdoor oven'  =)  Guess that's the carbonated wood vs. raw wood dust difference, regardless of brands?

      It gives a nice little kiss of smoke to a pizza.  =) 
      seriously.....it is prob the most nutural....but it is lump and does give off some flavor. Glad you are giving it a try.
