lump

For years I used Ozark Hardwood lump charcoal made right close to where I live in Arkansas. All of the sudden it was gone so I contacted the buyer where I used to get it and he told me they ar now an exclusive supplier for s steakhouse chain in the NE . He said they would be carrying Cowboy...

Our Walmart Neighbor Mart has B&B Oak Lump Charcoal for $12.88 for a 20lb. bag. The newest review on Naked Wiz was in 2004 so I thought I would do an updated one here. This review is cooking a brisket on a Humphrey Battle Box with a Stoker ATC. Lump Condition - Some nice chunks in the bag...

I'm not trying to start a battle between the sides. I'm asking this question because I have never had a gravity pit before. I have used both before and both have pluses and minuses. I guess I'm leaning towards lump because you can get it without additives. But I'm worried about it getting caught...

Picked up a couple of New Yorks the other day from Costco. Grilled up some asparagus, and baked some fries. All of these involved garlic. I just love garlic. I don't put it everything but some days it's just a garlic kind of day. Cooked on the Kettle with mesquite lump and a couple chunks of...

So...we have a Backwoods Competitor insulated vertical cabinet smoker with a water pan, and looking for your opinion on the best charcoal briquette. We are looking for a clean flavor, consistent temp, and longest lasting. Let us know your thoughts and why.

My buddy and I are fixing up a used Backwoods Competitor we picked up. It has an auto water system, convection fan, and a 'hide setter' (which I am not familiar with)... Any tips or recommendations on how I should adjust my cookers going from a Rec Tec pellet smoker to this Backwoods? Also...

So over the years I have bought hundreds and hundreds of pounds of mesquite lump charcoal. Always from the same manufacturer. And I have never gotten anything like this before. The truck dropped off three 40#, bags of lump and in one of them there was this. A 36# Stump! And 4 other small sticks...

My wife's cousins are up on the mountain visiting this week. They surprised my with a couple of tri-tips. (very nice of them) So tonight after work was the right time to cook them up. A little olive oil and Montreal and on they went. Given the time and the quantity of meat. I decided to go with...

I was starting to run low on charcoal. I picked up a bag of BOTW charcoal and did an evaluation of it. Here I've cut open the bag to reveal the contains. I separated it and put it into my storage container. Here are the pictures (Business card and 6” ruler for reference) and my general...

i have a typical 55gal UDS with a 13inx12in round coal basket. round metal grate on the bottom and expando on the sides, elevated 3-4inches. 3-1in inlets and 2in bung on a flat top lid. i burn lump, RO or Malic's, with hardwood chunks. I typically fill the basket about 1/2 way with lump and...

No pics, I know, didnt happen. But I fired up my new to me large spicewine last night and the things a BEAST!!! I chimney of lit coals to get it warmed, when they burned down I shoveled them off to the side and made about a 10" wide line of coals across the bottom, chunks of peach mixed in. Up...

Since there are always multiple threads on this every year, I am going to start one early. I will bump it once the sales begin. I will also edit this post (if it will let me) and keep all the sales in the OP. If you find a good price, please check the thread before posting it. Please include...

I've made fun of Cowboy lump in the past. I've had my share of rocks, insulation, dead animals, and even a live (black) frog hopped out of a bag of Cowboy lump I opened a year ago. I saw him hopping around the patio for a few days until it rained and I couldn't track him anymore. I'm very...

I've had my fair share of rocks in my lump but tonight as I was loading up my Small BGE with RO, I pulled out the heaviest foreign object I've encountered in a bag of lump yet: 1 lb 14 oz or 1.875 lbs of metal (I think iron) Here it is after I cleaned it up: Maybe my bag should...

Has anyone grilled steaks directly on top of lump charcoal no grill grate? what was your times per side, how thick of a cut, I like med rare?

OK since this is my 1st smoker that uses charcoal I am going to need to buy some tools what do you guys think? Chimney Starter or the Electric plug in one with a coil? Lump or Bric for fuel? (if you guys prefer a brand over another pls share) Then there is what kind of chunk wood... man o man...

Tomorrow I'm gonna do my first smoke in my Chargriller with SFB.... I ran a fire in in last week just to see what it would do and how it would respond to tinkering. I'll be using Lump Charcoal and Hickory Chunks... I'm planning to cook chicken thighs and some sausages. Reading up on...

lump vs briquettes in uds Are there any big differences using lump rather than briquettes in my uds? I've only ever used briquettes sofar.Does lump burn hotter and for as long ? I'm trying the lump to start up to try and reduce startup smoke smells;some of my neighbours don't share my obsession...

$3.97 for 20# of The Original Charcoal Company lump here in West Michigan. I've used it for a couple of cooks and been pleased. Just completed my very first brisket (9 1/2 hours in a primo jr. I'll have pics shortly if it turned out. Forget I mentioned anything if it doesn't.)
