Santa's Sleigh arrived a few days late, he was very busy this year. But when he got here he dropped off a couple of nice bags of this:
The wife got some C legs ready, seasoned with pepper, garlic & Webers Rib & chicken rub. And wrapped in our home made bacon. Got to give this Wicked lump a try. I keep hearing how great this lump is.
Filled the rotten egg with the new lump, started a little bit of it in the chimney on my performer grill. The smell is very light & nice. Chicken legs are on and will give it a shot.Will smoke these at 300 for a couple of hours.
Legs 2 hours later. They cooked up fantastic on the Wicked Good Lump.

I munched onto this leg and the flavor was fantastic. The meat cooked very nicely. The skin was the most golden brown and edible that I have ever had on legs. My wife also agreed on all these accounts. As my final review I give Wicked Good Lump a "A". In the past I have tried cowboy lump, RO lump & green egg lump, the best of these is RO & Green egg, actually the same lump just different bags. My wife says these lumps smell like train smoke. It smells the same in Durango when they are starting up the train. She says the Wicked Good smells like light cigar smoke. Much more mild & sweeter smelling. Now if it last 4-5 times longer as it is suppose to it will be well worth the shipping that Santa paid for it to get here. Might have to have Santa do this every year. Well hope that you enjoyed our Wicked Good Lump review. If your looking for something different it is worth the shipping to try it. Definitely grill goat approved.

Thanks for the review Russ, have not tried it yet. I understand what your wife says about the RO, but It only smells like that for me when it first starts, once up to temp I like the smell it puts out and often don't put smoke wood in for the cook.
 
Thanks for the review Russ. There's a farm stand that carries this about 45 minutes away - I'll have to give it a try.
 
Thanks Russ! Excellent cook. ACE did at one time carry WG. It shipped free to your local ACE Hardware. Don't believe that option is available now. WG is hard to get locally otherwise. Last I heard ACE switched to PRIMO lump..PRIMO is that other ceramic cooker. A XL BGE is always on my wish list.

Roger, the Kamado Joe lump has taken the wicked good place on the ace website and is made by the same people I read. I have a couple bags but haven't tried yet.
 
Bob stole my line, I was gonna say something similar!!! Chicken does look really good and nice review on the charcoal as well.
 
WG is the best lump out there IMO and Naked Whiz also. Low sparking and mild flavor and long burn time are the best features. Funky smell when burning, but doesn't transfer to the taste.
