Rocks in Rockwood - not a complaint

Just did a clean burn to aid in old gasket removal and found these rocks afterwards. I know all lump will have some rocks from time to time, but these rocks look like ceramic or some type of refractory liner. Just a heads up to @stlcharcoal that an inspection of their furnace, kiln, or whatever it is they use might not be a idea.

They use front end loaders. It’s part of the kiln. The bags are overfilled to account for the occasional foreign object.

Again, it’s not a complaint...just a heads up that an inspection of their refractory might needed. I have several bags of Rock Wood and don’t intend to change.Llano, TX - Med and XL BGE’s

Used to find many rocks and chunks of concrete in royal oak. One reason I switched to Rockwood once Ace made it available in California. I haven’t found any in the Rockwood yet. I do like it better than royal oak!

I think a picture of one of @stlcharcoal kilns would be cool. Just out of curiosity no big deal, I have never been around a charcoal plant and wouldn't know one if I was standing in front of it.

Rocks and refractory happen....that's why there's an half pound in every bag. Over the course of 5-10 bags you should always come out way ahead.
And for @alaskanassasin, here are pics......

Does the red number 10 mean you have 10 kiln/bunkers at your plant?stlcharcoal said:Rocks and refractory happen....that's why there's an half pound in every bag. Over the course of 5-10 bags you should always come out way ahead.
