    I am close to being a lump only convert...thoughts wanted...

    Find a wholesale source. For example I buy Humphrey's lump for about $11 a 20lb bag at roller mills or feed stores within 10-30 miles depending on where I go. I can get Royal Oak Lump (USA) any time from the local Restaurant Depot which is about 10 or 15 minutes from my house for $10.50 a 20+lb...

    Enambled cast iron for grilling?

    I like enameled cast iron for acidic cooks (heavy tomato or wine). Although with good sesaoning plain will work fine - just remove the ingredients immediately after the cook as it will start turning color if you let it sit. I like using vintage Copco personally as you can get it at a reasonable...

    Rib Rack Recommendations Needed

    I have several models of rib racks. I prefer to cook the whole rack (or split) flat on the grates when I can. When I can't I use a rack. I cook spares most often. And typically St. Louis cut. So I use a rack to hold the ribs vertical as I need the other space to cook the parts along with the...

    Igniting lump

    To ignite lump I light it in a chimney. Either coiled/oiled paper start which I haven't done in a long time or using the Performer to light the charcoal chimney, or the stand alone propane chimney starter. For the starter briquettes for slow cooks - I turn the chimney upside/down and place the...

    Igniting lump

    I really like to slow down the start with lump. It catches easier IMHO than standard K style briquettes. So - it can overshoot faster. I say slow it down and use 8-10 briquettes of your choice well placed on the pile of lump. I always use a loaded ring regardless of cook. Shut it down and use...

    Tri Tip withdrawals

    Yeah sounds like it. The ones I've seen in Devon, PA Ardmore, PA and Reston, VA were the same. Whole tri tip in a vac seal. Running around 2 to 2.5 lb. Some in marinate and then plain (in red label bag I think). You must be looking and something that is cubed. I can have a look at he SKU maybe...

    Tri Tip withdrawals

    Hey Scott - yes, I have seen them at Wegmans around me. I would say the ones at TJ's I like better (plain) as they tend to be heavier. Other than that all good. Thing is if you can get one with light trim and some fat cap as well as the club intact and good marbeling I would pay $10 lb. But...

    Tri Tip withdrawals

    Hey Joe - thanks for that info. Shucks another source bites the dust. Still an opportunity for a group buy though. As long as they can move what they bring in they would order for us. Just a thought. Agreed - $10lb is getting up there. Depends on the quality, graze, breed etc. If it was a...

    No worries - the price per bag/lb is pretty low you just have to buy 10 bags or split with someone. I'm in the middle of an HVAC project on my 3 story 1920's home so I know where you are coming from.

    best lump charcoal

    Hi Scott - I can't say. I've done the read many many times of lump from the Naked Whiz reviews. It's a old, old compendium that gets updated and has a very low level detail and reviews. I have never used Wicked Warrior. Thing is I want to try it. It's got a lot of respect from lump bigots. So I...

    Tri Tip withdrawals

    Yeah that's a bit of the rub with TJ's and Tri Tips they are heavy trim and small. Now undersantd that you don't find TT's much over 3 to 3.5 lb at the heaviest and that is based on trim. Typical even an TJ's is right around 2 lb to 2.5 lb. Heavier will usually mean the club is left on and a...

    best lump charcoal

    I am trending towards working with a wholesaler that keeps volume in stock. Have a line on one and will check today. So yes - typically retail on lump is around $1ish a pound. If you find a wholesaler you get much lower than that. Frankly it's the same scenario with Humphrey's. Regional...

    best lump charcoal

    Pricing on half pallet from Wicked is a wash. Looking at options. Will get back. So I am working on a "half pallet order" of 30 bags. Shame we can't get more momentum in terms of larger order. But hey I will work on best effort for 30 bags. Let's see what I come up with. In the end I will...
