Favorite charcoal?

[mojo2454]

I basically grew up on Kingsford and that's what I've been using and sometimes royal oak, and ideas to enhance the taste of my food? For $12 for two 18 lb bags for Kingsford I feel like I can't go wrong.

I like kingsford. I also like royal oak lump. Those two are about all I use except kingsford pro in the summer. Costco always has two packs at a good price during summer months.

Small amounts of choice smoke wood here and there is what really affects flavor.

And I can't stress small amounts enough.

I love Kingsford for hot cooks but for low and slow I choose Royal Oak Natural...Kingsford can sometimes put off a strange flavor when lighting in a minion situation...Also love to use various lump for indirect cooks...But RO lump is off the list because of too much foreign material in the bag...

Just curious what do you like about the kingsford pro vs the regular stuff? My costco seems to have the stuff year around but at 10 bucks per bag in 2 packs.

I don't like Kingsford. I use RO lump and briquets exclusively. Never had any issues with RO...

I'm with hawgheaven.  I use RO Lump for most of my cooking even for long cooks.  Way less ash.

Imo, it lights faster and burns hotter. This is at the expense of slightly shorter burn times. I fire up the grill when I get home from work frequently and I like a fast lighting coal.

Yup. The ash level is wonderfully low with RO. And not to mention, the smoke flavor is spot on...yum. Beats hell outta Kingsford IMHO.

Both Royal Oak lump and briquettes for me.  Mostly use the lump in my Kamado Joe (I know, sorry!).

I prmarily use Royal Oak briquettes.  Lowe's sells it for about 5 bucks a bag...   Then there is Embers charcoal at home depot, which is made by Royal Oak.  Both work for me.
