Lump Bird

[Bob Correll]

I've been using lump more and more lately.
Not to become a charcoal purist, but because it's locally made, not owned by a large corporation, and I love the smell.
Using it beyond hot and fast steak grilling has created a small learning curve for me.
Didn't fire up enough last night, had to add some fresh near the cook's end.

Spatchcocked, skin perforated with a spike tenderizer tool, and rubbed with Oakridge Santa Maria.

Breast was done before the legs, so I removed them to finish.

Twas' a fine Sunday chicken dinner.

Thanks for the visit, have a great week everyone!

Bob, as a lump lover myself I was wondering what brand are you using? And @ what price?
Great looking chicken too. I like your pic of your flag there too.

Nice dinner Bob. I've only used lump once many years ago that someone gave me. Might be time to give it a try again for giggles. I do remember it smelled good, not like stinky KBB.

Thanks Russ and Rich!
I have a couple bags of Ozark Oak stashed, heard they were bought out by RO.
Currently using Rockwood, it sells here for $18 to $20 for a 20 lb bag.
I have tracked down Rockwood's maker, Timber Charcoal, and they sell 20 lb bags at the plant for $10.
But unless I bought a lot the gas cost to Salem, MO and back would not make it worth one's while.

Rich, your neighbors might miss the bellowing smoke.
I sometimes mix Kbb with lump.

That's some mighty fine looking chicken Bob, your sides great. Love the flag awesome pic.

I've used two types, Cowboy, which I found up in Oregon and Royal Oak. Bought 800 lbs of KBB last Labor Day and that is now gone. Have used that pretty much out of habit I guess. Anyway, the bird and plate look fantastic Bob.
