Lump makes a difference

Well, I did a cook last night and What a difference. I was using some Mali that I bought at the local Grocery store and I was getting a bad wood taste from it. I would let it burn till the smoke went clear, put the food on, and then I would get white smoke again. I figure the wood was not completely "carbonized" and was burning. The wife was hating the food and thought the BGE was the problem.
I bought some GFS RO lump and used it last night. 450 in 10 minutes and lcear smoke in 15. cooked the meal and the taste was great.!
Guess I am going to take back my last bag of the Mali, or any one in detroit area can have it.

If you can, get some Wicked Good Weekened Warrior. You'll never go back one you use it.

I hate saying Cary is right :pinch: LOL but he is. I use wicked good and love it. also use cowboy if I am baking and really want no smoke taste. not to good for a long low and slow but for a cake it is perfect. wicked sparks and can be hard to light but burns long and hot.

That would be "Weekend" Warrior. Weekened Warrior sounds a bit like Sampson and Delilah, LOL!The Naked Whiz

Hi Steve,
I too am stuck on Wicked Good. About 5 or 6 eggers (me included) in my neighborhood buy it by the pallet. My cul de sac could have its own little eggfest. As a backup, I use BGE lump and found the Publix Greenwise too be good in case I run out (which is very rare)...
Naked Whiz's site is loaded w/good info on lump.. I found some called Ozark Oak that I was fortunate enough to obtain a bag. It was awesome but can't find it in the ATL area where I live...
Best of Luck. -
Cowboy lump give very little smoke flavor to your cooks. Get it at Ace Hardware.

I have been using Ozark Oak and been very happy.

Stevesails,
There is a guy in Rochester Hills that sells Wicked Good Lump to restaurants in the area, his number is 248-760-6733 or go to wickedgoodmichigan.com. I have bought some and it is a little pricey, I use it for my Low&Slow cooks. You can get RO from Gordon Foods, they will order it for you. -
i get the ROyal oak from the GFS. $13 a 20 bag. right around the corner, and they tell me they can get it year round. just ask and they will have it next day at the store if they are out.
Cowboy lump is at Lowes and Home Depot, but I bet you cant get it after October.XL Walled Lake, MI -
Is the GFS RO lump your getting labeled for Royal Oak or in that generic big black bag GFS labeled bag?
-
i just looked at the Bag, it is the Generic black one. I swear, the one I bought a month ago said royal oak on it.XL Walled Lake, MI
