I was in a local True Value hardware store today and they had 20 pound
bags of Qik Jim lump charcoal for $11 and change. Anyone ever heard of it? The bag said "all natural hardwood", (is there UN-natural hardwood? ;-) ) with oak and maple. Anyone heard of it or tried it? I'm getting ready for some trial burns in the WSM. Hopefully it'll be here by Friday. (fingers crossed) -- Steve Love may be blind but marriage is a real eye-opener. |

The biggest problem I had with it was a lot of small pieces and very few larger ones. Looking at the Naked Whiz site, looks like their test was similar to mine. http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lumpdatabase/lumpbag42.htm Overall they gave it a pretty good evaluation. Brian |

Thanks for the link. You're welcome. I'd be interested in your results with it, I've passed up giving it a second try but would think about it when my box of Chigger Creek runs out. Brian |

I'm sitting here impatiently waiting for the UPS guy. (tap, tap, tap) First thing I'm gonna do to it (after I get it together of course) is to put two thermometers in it. I bought to of the threaded type so I'm going to drill holes by the bottom grate and one by the top grate. I figure that I couldn't really care less what the h*ll the temp is at the top of the dome. Then I bought a Taylor single probe thermometer for the meat with a remote pager. I'm gonna do a couple of test burns and then probably try some ribs if I've figured out temp. control (at least a little). I'll letcha know. -- Steve Love may be blind but marriage is a real eye-opener. |
