Did you try that "Qik Jim" charcoal we discussed a few weeks back? If
so, how'd it turn out?

Oh, shoot. I'm sorry Brian. I forgot that I'd promised you a report.
Well, factoring in that I'm a WSM newbie take my review lightly. I
fired up a chimney full and that was all that I put in. It lasted for
about 2 hours running at around 260dF. It was a warm day and no breezes.

It probably would have gone on for quite a while if I'd put some unlit
into the bottom before adding the lit stuff from the chimney.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake
when you make it again.

I forgot too, until I saw the "Lump in Missouri" thread, which made me
think about places to buy lump, reminding me about True Value and Qik
Jim.

How were the piece sizes? Did it look like lumber scraps or split wood?

I'd classify them as small. Some of them may be 1"x3" or so but most
smaller than than. It didn't look like lumber scraps.

That's kind of what I remembered from the time I tried some while back.
I generally like at least a fair portion to be larger.

Thanks.
