Title: Wet Lump Charcoal
Post by: foshizzle on December 15, 2021, 08:12:36 AM
Can wet lump charcoal be dried out and used?  If so, will it heat up the same and last as long?
Had a storm come through and the high wind blew a lot of rain onto two bags of Fogo I thought would be safely protected by the overhang. The bags were completely soaked.

Be prepared for it to pop and spark. I had a couple of chimneys worth of Rockwood that got wet, and it popped like mad even after it was apparently dry.
