Hi! I posted awhile back, but didn't notice if anybody was interested in a follow up...
I smoked three racks of ribs about two weeks ago using the Royal Oak Briquettes. With my experience, everything turned out fine, with the exception of the coals not lasting nearly as long as the kingsfords. I used one chimney full of lit ones, one chimney full of empty coals, and let them all ash over a little bit before assembling and throwing the ribs on.
In conclusion, I have mixed feelings. RO will have to do because...well, a lot of things i've been reading looks like the new formula isn't all that great. I just wished the coals from RO would last longer...I'm a little scared about doing the overnight cooks!
