Speaking for myself, I'd take Cowboy over briquettes, but that's me.Originally posted by Tony Catencamp:
I haven't burned lump yet mostly because there isn't much of it where I live. I see Ace Hardware has Cowboy, but I haven't heard a lot of good things about it.

Irwin,
Home Depot in my area sells K in a two pack for around $13, I believe they are 21 lb bags. During the summer they had the same two pack on sale for $9.99.

ive tried lump mainly the royal oak brand but after nearly ruinging a kettle with it due to some half burnt piece of plastic and several times finding what appeared to be remnants of some sort of fibrous filter material i went back to kingsford.
Absolutely. Pack the ring tightly eliminating space between pieces as best you can. I find shaking the ring a couple of times as I load up helps.Originally posted by Phil Perrin:
I think we have a lump convert. Can you use it for real long cooks,like brisket and butts?
BGE lump, which is really Royal Oak, but better quality than what you get in the 10lb bags at Walmart...Originally posted by rod culver:
Phil, where in the Charlotte area can we find lump?
