lump charcoal

I have been using lump charcoal in my WSM 18 for a while now instead of briquettes. Lump charcoal bags come with pieces in all different sizes. I'm wondering if it makes any difference if using large or small pieces, or a combination, in the WSM. Assuming the temperature is maintained properly...

When using my 18" WSM, how much coal do I put in the ring and my chimney when I am making ribs, brisket, and pork butt? Do I put in the same amount for each type of meat different need different amounts? And what about cold smoking something like a 2-pound chunk of cheese? Thank you

Hello all. This might be kind of a stupid question, but here goes... I know that lump charcoal burns hotter than briquettes, and therefore will burn out faster. Couldn't I "counteract" the higher heat by closing the dampers a bit to let in less oxygen, thereby lowering the temperature? Or will...

I recently purchased a few bags of B&B Oak Lump during the recent Ace Hardware sale. During my first use of it on my WSGC I used the snap-jet to start it. When I came back later I notice chunks of lump charcoal on and around the grill center, some probably 10 ft away. I thus closed the lid...

What a nice surprise! My local grocery store had a 40 lb. bag of lump charcoal marked down for $8.50, with a small tear in the bag. I grabbed it right away! It was a heavy bag taking it to my car. Awesome deal. I grilled up a simple meal of boneless chicken thighs along with some corn. Tasty...

My local Stator Brother's store carries this brand, called Full Circle. I saw this bag marked down to $3.00 bucks, I thought, what the heck, I'll give it a shot. I bought some chicken thighs and a couple ears of corn. Lots of mixture of small and large chunks of wood. I sort through it before...

So I've read the great reviews on here....and earlier this year Walmart has a 17#+ bag (the red USA bag) for $10 and I gave it a shot. Loved just the smell of it when I was bringing it home!!.....that's where my love affair ended I'm afraid. The lump seemed to take forever to light....didn't...

Bought a couple of nice choice sirloin steaks, at a local meat store, grilled them up, using lump charcoal. The butcher was kind enough to season the steaks with the house specialty. The steaks came out very tender, juicy, and full of flavor! Overlandmeat.com Nice choice sirloin steaks...
