Thanks, good tips

Thank everyone. I still have some lump, I think that I will try it again. Is there a problem if I pack the coal bin with lump and use a full chamber of hot kb to get it going? I have looked for k comp with no luck, but I know where i can get Stubb.

I tried lump coal a few times when I was just start out (about 6 months ago) and got flusterated and started using only KB, but I did notice it was cleaner burning. Poultry so far is the only cook that I can notice a taste. Last night I cooked 2 14lb turkeys, and used 2 full lite chimney's and...

I found a 1997 performer on CL, looks like it was hardley ever used. My question is are there any up grades that I should do. One of my concerns is where the therm is located. I already found out if you put over a bag of coals in the basket, it will fall out.
