First Time Using Kingsford Competition

Tried out KC for the first time yesterday cooking up some filet mignon and it worked out great.

Last time I cooked it was Valentine's day and I used KBB so I used the same methods but different coal.

Started in a chimney on my Genesis (still haven't got a hold of and orifice for my Performer)

Comp lit much faster and did not produce as much white smoke.

I run the vents wide open with full baskets and the KBB would hit 500 at the lid thermometer.

Comp soared well past the 550 mark and I had to dial the vent down.

Sear was way better on the steaks and i think I could taste a difference in the final product.

I'm sold of this Kingsford Competition for my steaks, anyone else use it for other stuff?

I imagine long cooks could work out well but the vents would have to be dialed down from where you run them with KBB.

Did you happen to notice a little more smokey flavor, as opposed to the KBB?

Dude, relax your chicken.

Costco is the only place I've seen them.

I usually keep K-Comp on hand for slow steady cooks in my WSM and/or when I don't want too much smokey flavor. It is definitely less flavorful/smokey than Stubbs briquettes, and has a nice, clean burn. It's great for fish and other mild meals. That having been said, I use lump almost exclusively (new Cowboy, WGC WW, Lazzari Mesquite).

Holy shit Rick, I am soooo freaking sorry :(

It's packed up and ready to go, I just gotta find it. I'm 90% certain its in the trunk of my car.
I will dig it up and get it out tomorrow.

I feel like such a shithead right now.

No problem Troy. Don't feel bad at all. I totally understand.

Life is way more important than a silly piece of brass.

I appreciate your generosity and everything you do for this community of ours.

Thanks and get to it when you can.
