paul1927 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Suggestion: Include 1 Free Box of Extruded Coconut Charcoal with each Q. For low slow cooking on the Q I think the extruded coconut is special; especially for the newbie. Now if the person is going for hot and fast, then I think pretty much any fuel will do. I think pretty much everyone has been successful right off the bat with their Qs so perhaps this is just an unnessary and unneeded cost.

I already tried it though - hehe. I was told that charcoal falls into a combustible category and has some kind of hazardous transport charge added to it. So if you placed charcoal in the KK crate (like the crate is not already flammable - hehe), it greatly increases how much shipping is charged for that item. So bottom line, I doubt it will happen. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I guess Mexi people can do it because it's not shipped from overseas. They ship from CA, I guess, and it's a trucking issue, not an import issue. I don't mean they give free lump, just include it with shipping of a cooker.

But then again, I also noticed their shipping was considerably higher than Dennis' too. My Mexi-K was $135 more on shipping and that was over a year ago too. So maybe that might be reason for the large price difference too? -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1927 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 One little box stuck inside each cooker adds so much trouble. I'm sure there is a loophole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted it to come from the factory with charcoal in it - hehe - ready to put the fire to it - hehe. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbower Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I wanted it to come from the factory with charcoal in it Heck, I betcha if they set it to something fairly low it'd still be going when it hit home - pop a factory-installed brisket in there and you've got food to give the guys who help you lug it into place!

Paul I wish I had a big pallet of coconut charcoal. It's made in the Philippines and so it goes directly to the States. But yes that would be right up my alley to fill Komodos with charcoal. I love the idea.. For low slow cooking on the Q I think the extruded coconut is special; especially for the newbie. Now if the person is going for hot and fast' date=' then I think pretty much any fuel will do. Paul[/quote'] That's absolutely correct, the extruded Coconut is superior to regular lump for low and slows because it has more density. This results in a burn that is more predictable and controllable. I call it "Set and Forget" cooking. It's more expensive than regular lump but cheaper than a Guru or over cooked briskets. With lump if your airflow and material positioning is not correct you can come back to either a runaway burn that's too hot or a burn that drops or goes out. Well lit extruded is very stable, it plugs away and delivers consistent temperatures until it is burned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
