Spin off topic from Ceramic Grills - What Charcoal do you use

I have had no problems with the Royal Oak lump. I have a big bag from Costco that will be used next

Where would you find it when you could find it? I cannot find much other than that Cowboy crap from Academy or Sams

Walmarks. I will make a trip there just for that

BGE is Royal Oak Lump. BGE, Primo, KJ all private label charcoal. I find the bigger chunks burn hotter and longer than the smaller chunks. I like the smaller for smoking and bigger for searing and baking(pizza). I buy whatever the best deal. Academy has good deals on lump and they sell a good selection of woods chips/chunks.

Big green egg lump

Picked up a 34 pound bag of Cowboy brand at Costco today for 18.99. Cowboy brand is what they gave me when I purchased the egg. I did pick up vision brand from SAMs last time I was there and it worked fine. I just pick up whatever is a good deal

I use B&B lump charcoal. I get mine from Academy.

I mainky use royal oak.

But, when I can find the coconut charcoal briquettes, I buy a bunch. They burn very clean and are nearky neutral in flavor.

My newest fuel has been willow.

I make a small willow fire in my pit before doing anything. If I light it an hour early, I end up with an awesome pit. Fragrant and yet somehow very clean burning.

I use B&B mostly but will also use royal oak. Nunu's has royal oak lump.
