A while back Bob Correll suggested that I might like to give Kamodo Big Block lump axe breaker a shot.
Actually I have seen this brand many times before on Amazon. I just didn't pay it much attention because it seemed to be for ceramics smokers.
Anyway you can see by the picture that there is some big chunks of axe breaker.
actually I will burn those big chunks in my M1 when I am burning stick wood. 2 huge chunks keeps the firebox red hot & keeps the stick wood burning clean.
The medium & smaller sizes are perfect for most grills out there.
Here is the lump burning off side direct. Burns clean. Light smoke. Pleasant smell.
Lighter smell than J Devil at start up. Lights quickly, burns hot. As you can see in the pic.
Once again my rib addiction. LOL But today we are eating dog food ribs. 6 ribs cut into singles from a local grocery store. Select grade I would say.
But most times they are really guud.
3 hours in we are done. Great looking color & bark on the rib meat. No wood was added to the charcoals.
The wife liked the flavor better than with wood. I like a little wood added to my charcoals. That being said the ribs had a great flavor.
Summary:
Kamodo big block is a mixture of three axe breaker charcoals. Which is a wood I'm partial to make charcoal.
Gotta give this charcoal a A+. Its right there with J Devil, Fogo, Wicked Good, which is the three charcoals I am using at this time.
I ended up getting 40 lbs for $40. Not a bad deal, that's a little cheaper than the other 3 brands that I mentioned. But you gotta look around.
One place wanted $37 for 20 lbs. Not gonna happen. So I definitely will be adding this charcoal to my supply in the future. Nothing wrong with having 4 great charcoals to burn instead of 3.
Hope that you enjoy the review and that it helps someone. Have a great 4th everyone.
Little ones have to eat too. Shots like this is why we live where we live.
There is no Costco near here. There is no Restaurant Depot either. And I hope that it stays that way for the rest of my days.
