quite brittle, some big lumps, some tiny lumps. So tiny, they happily fall through the gaps of the bottom grill.

Hi all,

I've bought a bag of big K lumpwood charcoal.

Im using a weber medium kettle

After getting it started, I found that the lumpwood kind of crumbled, was very delicate, almost turned to dust. It didn't last long at all. I ended up using the kitchen grill.

Is it supposed to do this? Is there ...

Yep, pretty hot today, in the mood to do a bbq, and here i am.

So big hi everyone.

Total bbq noob. Done one in my 45 year old life.

I've registered to ask questions about lumpwood bbq-ing.

I'm going to ask questions right now, as soon as I click submit below.
