Does it **** anybody else off, that when halfway through your new bag
of lump, that there's always this "ONE GIANT PIECE" of lump coal.
This piece usually takes up about 1/4 the space in the bag. Not just
from Cowboy, but from everybody! Doesn't matter who's you buy. really
chaps my hide. aarrrghh. And no, I shouldn't have to chop it up.

I love those lumps for long cooks. Send them to me and I'll
take care of them for you.

Cheers,
Dana

Yup, save them and put them on the bottom when you cook butt or brisket,
even ribs for 4+ hrs.

Never ****ed me off. I like them as they last a long time. It is easily
broken down with one whack of a hammer. Not worth getting your blood
pressure up.

Before my restaurant buddy passed I used to buy 40 lb. bags of lump. About 1/4
of it was small logs ~4" in dia. and up to 6" long. I loved it!

Saved them back for long burns at the bottom of the minion pile.

Reallyreally-too much of the lump I've bought lately was unloaded by
airline baggage handlers working part time. Stomped into powder. The
big pieces are 2x2. Count yer blessings.

Never encountered such a thing. Cowboy, Nature Glo and Royal Oak.
Never found a piece like that. My pit wouldn't give a shit anyway.

Its not the big chunks I object to. Its the powder. The pieces smaller
than a finger nail or even real sand sized powder. They're typically at
the bottom of the bag. I get the big chunks first but the last time I
use a bag it is fast burning grit with only golf ball or smaller pieces.
