Hi All,
Here in Toronto it seems near impossible to find charcoal after Labour Day outside of specialty shops (Ontario Gas BBQ). I bought 2 - 25# bags of the above at a local hardware store recently for next to nothing (around 5 bucks each). I usually use RO lump but this was an impulse/opportunity purchase.
I've read at least one negative comment about the RO briqs here. Does anyone else have experience or an opinion?
I just did a rib cook (Stoker) and found that it took longer than usual to get to temps of 250F but once I was there it ran great. It has been very wet here for the past few weeks and I'm wondering if this affects fuel (I have an enclosed garage)? I've never noticed an issue with the RO lump in the same environment.
To note, the above fuel burned in a more consistent pattern than the lump with the Stoker but after 5hrs my half ring (18") was pretty much depleted .
