    Coal question

    Kbb. Depending on what I'm cooking I add wood chunks for some smokey flavor. I agree the ash is a problem, but I've never noticed a difference in flavor or performance between lump and kbb even though I agree it appears to burn cleaner.

    Smoking: White Oak vs Red Oak?

    Red oak is great for a quick cook like grilling. As said before that is what is used for Santa Maria BBQ. I find it bitter for low and slow though. White oak is the preferred wood for Texas style BBQ. Like you I got some of both cheap (paso Robles ca has a ton!) and that's the conclusion I...
