I have never used lump and bought some Cowboy Lump on sale to give it a try. Cowboy sure gets some bad reviews but I noticed in one post that Jim Lampe uses it with success, and I figured he knows what he is doing.

Let's get started.


Looks a lot different than briquettes.


It also takes a lot more to build a fire.


I ended up adding some more before I got started.


Shrimp with EVOO and Weber's Cajun Seasoning.


When the lump was ready I threw the shrimp on the fire.


Cooking.


Just about done.


Plated with some steamed cauliflower and jasmine rice with some Tiger sauce.


Food was great. I learned a couple of things about lump. It takes more to build the fire and I'm probably going to add another charcoal grate just because some of the smaller pieces will fall through the grate. All in all I was happy with the results. I have 2 bags of the Cowboy Lump so we'll see how the rest of the cooks turn out, so far so good. I can't wait to build a big old lump fire and sear some steaks. Thanks for looking.:cool:
 
Pretty meal. I haven't used Cowboy Lump, but I've used lump on several occasions. I use it to cook Mahi Mahi with blackened seasoning. It always comes out awesome!! I don't know why, but I don't really care for it with beef. But, I love the taste with seafood.
 
Beautiful Shrimp, beautiful yard and beautiful Performer. Nice job Pat! I've used Cowboy before, but like Royal Oak better. About all we can get around here.

Thanks Cliff. I did the landscaping myself, those palm trees were about a foot high when I planted them 11 years ago.
 
Terrific looking shrimp & meal. I use lump upon occasion - mostly for building a bed of coals for the offset & vertical rotisserie.
Dunno why I don't cook on it much. Probably should change that - must have 6 bags of it on hand.

Pat I'd say you also know what you're doing. Nice cook!
 
pics aren't there anymore (I didn't see to begin with). It says: "please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting"

hth.....
 
Yep no pics here either.

Cowboy lump is really hit and miss. Sometimes you get a bag full of really tiny stuff that falls through the grate. Other times you get 6" round branches. Nails and other things sometimes find their way into the bag too. The other issue I have with Cowboy is it sparks and spits a lot.

My favorite brand to date has been 365 brand which I can no longer get here. It has been replaced with Kingsford professional lump briquettes.
