I have searched a few times over the past month or two, thinking you guys here were the masters of 'que fuel, but haven't seen mention of ono. Nothing on naked whiz either...remember, don't leave your Weber in the rain, you'll get rusty!*wink*
Knock that rust off and get with the plan...it's always a good time to 'que...
I guess I'll have to post something to mention Ono charcoal.
I picked up this bag a month or so back at BBQ Galore, but used the balance of a large bag of Lazarri I had which turned out to have a LOT of really fine small pieces, and this ono is larger pieces, which seem to break up similar to the Lazzari for me. That is better, the Lazzari had a bunch of dust and tiny pieces which fell through the grate anyway...and kinda created a mess...the 10 lb. bag of Lazzari is better than the larger bags.
This is great consistency, and breaks up well. Even the large pieces, but I'm leaving a couple in that I'll toss on top of the minion when I put the hot coals in. I like the feel and looks of it. I don't know about the claims which state 1 lb. of kiawe produce the heat of 2 lbs. of briquettes, since that is subjective and depends on briquettes, etc...but I'll let you masters of 'que fuel butt pork heads over that issue.
I was gonna shove a bear in the rear of that chicken, but since I don't really like beer much anyway, I'll skip that, go with some wild rice, mushrooms, onions, garlic, sautee'd in butter...that sounds better than beer to me, anyway...but maybe I'll add some wine with it, I know, a snooty thing to do...but what can I say...
News at 11:00, whenever that is...
Oh, it was $16.99 for a 20 lb. bag, so a couple bucks more than the BBQ Galore Lazzari (oak).
