So I've been using Kingsford charcoal since, well longer than I want to admit to. It's been decades literally.... Usually either Mesquite, or original with wood chunk for smoke / flavor.
Walmart had some Kingsford Pecan, which is cool since the wood chunks I typically use are pecan.
I have had this happen 3 times already, so I know it isn't not being lit properly or anything like that...
Fill the charcoal chimney light it off, and wait until the top coals are ashed over before I dump.
Doesn't matter, configured direct, or indirect, but within 30 minutes, the coals just go out. Vent positions on the kettle don't matter, its's done this in the JJP and the SJ.
Anyone else experience this with any of Kingsford's smoking wood blends?
