OMG I ALMOST feel guilty when I pay $5.50 for a 18 lb bag of Royal Oak!

i don't think paddio daddio's test is very scientific, although it is better than many other tests i've seen published.

I don't use KC and I've never seen Stubbs compared to KC for ash production anywhere else, but Nakedwhiz.com compared K to KC and found that they produce similar amounts of ash and twice the amount of Wicked Good, which is similar to Stubbs (natural charcoal with a vegetable binder). Wicked Good also burned longer.

It's not scientific, but in my grills & smokers, K leaves considerably more ash than Stubbs, and if KC leaves 92% as much as K (as the above test says), I would guess it would leave more ash too.

For what it's worth.

Lew, thankfully, ash accumulation isn't an issue we have to deal with in the wsm, unlike ceramic cookers and some others. I want consistency, and so far, Kcomp has been really exceptional.
