First Time using Coshell
« on: March 20, 2015, 05:25:14 PM »
Saw some Coshell at OSH today and decided, Why Not?
Grilling some wings tonight so thought I would give them a try.
First observations-
Slightly larger bouquets than KB.
Different Shape
Much Less Smoke- when I lit my chimney, I had to go make sure it was lit as there were no heavy omissions of smoke filling the backyard.

Just about ready to dump in kettle and start cooking. Keep ya posted.

Less smoke = less color on chicken.

Coming along, however, mho, KB seems to generate a little more heat.

Nice looking wings! I can't find Coshell anywhere here in Nebraska.

I'm surprised to hear someone say that.  A full chimney of lit Coshell will just about peg the thermometer on a 22.5" grill. For me, it burns hotter than lump, and lump burns hotter than KB. Going by my lid thermometer (inaccurate, but just for reference), a half a chimney of KB usually hits 350ish, lump will hit 450ish, Coshell always gets it up over 500. I've had a full chimney go past 700 when cooking pizzas.

If we were meant to grill with gas then the garden of Eden would have had a pipeline

I'm doing another cook tonight. This time I will hold off on the adult beverages and use a thermometer on the grate. My kettle lid doesn't have thermometer so I only based my comments on visuals, feel and time it took to finish wings.
