    New to WSM - question about the amount of charcoal to use?

    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.

    Anyone else experience violently exploding B&B Oak Lump Charcoal during startup?

    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...

    Royal Oak Lump...I don't get it

    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...

    Simple yet very tasty, Sirloin steaks!

    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...
