This video is about B&B COMPETITION CHAR-LOGS I bought a bag of these at Academy Sports to try out. I can say they are ultra clean burning and I highly recommend them. Let me know what you think. #flyingsmoke #b&b

Great video, thank you! Just wanted to mention something regarding the smoke from your chimney in the beginning of your burn and my experience. The little bit of smoke you had once you started the chimneys was due to the cubes. If you start a chimney of B&B with the tumbleweeds, zero smoke! I figured this out last night when I started with one tumbleweed and needed another and decided to put a cube instead to experiment, oh my god the smoke. With tumbleweeds, clean burn with zero smoke from start to finish. Truly amazing. Thanks again!

These are all I use for long cooks! I run an 18.5” WSM. I can do a full packer brisket without adding fuel using Harry Soo’s donut. But I get kinda OCD with the way I put it in the charcoal ring. I put an empty chimney on my charcoal grate, and actually stand the logs up inside the charcoal ring around the chimney. I go two layers thick around. Pull the empty chimney out, and stand up any Char Logs that fell over. Then, once my chimney of lit charcoal ashes over, I dump it right in the middle of the donut. Can get an easy 12-15 hours at 225...

I've been having a hard time getting my fire lit and keeping my fire lit after I drop my chimney over the other logs in my charcoal basket, so I came to KZfaq for some direction and I think your video solved it for me! My chimney is probably half the size of yours and I don't have enough room to get a good amount of logs in there since they are so big to begin with. That in turn makes the few logs I have lit, poured over the charcoal basket not enough to get the fire going effectively! Anyway, great video! You got another sub!

I like these charcoal reviews. I use this on occasion when I find it. Personally when I go hot and/or use my grillgrates, I never get the charcoal fully lit. The way I figure, the grill and grates have to preheat as well Once I have flames out the top, I dump and arrange my grates. Close or crack the lid, come back and take the temp. The hottest I’ve gotten was with B&b hickory lump. My infrared registered my grillgrates at 963 for the highest. And the grill wasn’t even full.

I can see this charcoal being a real asset in the WSM. Once dialed in, I'd think the temps and burn time could be repeatable and predictable. If anything, it would greatly narrow the gap with the WSM's wild temp swings most of us experience. This may also solve the excessively bitter white smoke water smokers are notoriously known to produce throughout a cook.
