Sanny Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Whizzy has a new review posted of Another Manufacturer's extruded product. This was the extruded that the Other Manufacturer sold in 2006. THIS IS NOT DENNIS' PRODUCT!! Din't want anyone to think that this review (not favorable at all) was somehow related to something that Dennis sells. http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lumpdatabase/lumpbag70.htm Quote
Sanny Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 I used this brand on my first low and slow. It was an overnight, and I thought I must be really inept if I couldn't keep the fire burning overnight. It went out sometime in the night, and I had to add fuel to get the cooking done. The bottom of the cooker was full of ash, too. While I may have, indeed, been inept, it appears it wasn't all my fault! There's some comfort in that, I suppose. Quote
TheNakedWhiz Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 I have no doubts that your problems were this poor quality charcoal. I have never seen a charcoal that couldn't maintain 400 degrees with a BBQ Guru 10CFM blower going full blast. It made the charcoal unusable in my opinion. The ash would build up on the individual briquettes so rapidly that it insulated the briquettes and prevented the fire from heating the cooking chamber as hot as it should. Truly bizarre stuff. Quote
trish Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 This is an odd thing to notice, but both of Sanny's posts are numbered 1297? Quote
Majestik Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Haha... ...that is the total number of posts she has made. She is apparently quite a chatterbox. Quote
trish Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 The post count should increase with each post shouldn't it? How often does it tally the posts? Oh I see it did the same for me....

primeats Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Didn't know we could get charcoal from KK. Quote
TheNakedWhiz Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 At present you can't. Dennis is still working this out. Quote
primeats Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Knowing how Dennis does things it will probably light itself just by saying "light". Quote
gerard Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Oooo.... Sanny. You're coming around and getting all militant. It's quite becoming. Now if you'll just dust off that account you made on the fraud forum and post the same thing there Quote
Syzygies Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 I'm all for Dennis making the best charcoal he can, for critical low & slow cooks. I still have some of my hoard of 2004 K CEL charcoal. It was great stuff, apparently not to appear at that quality under that brand again. I fill my car with Lazzari oak lump from their SF factory for general use, but I'd pay whatever Dennis asked for something trumping 2004 CEL for critical uses. ...Syzy is looking like the odds on favorite for that award! I'm really rather shy, it's just that I took typing lessons... Quote
Firemonkey Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Oooo.... Sanny. You're coming around and getting all militant. All sorts of things change when you reach critical mass Quote
Sanny Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 Oooo.... Sanny. You're coming around and getting all militant. It's quite becoming. No no. Not militant. Just after I read Whizzy's review, I realized that it might not have been entirely my fault that my first low and slow had so much trouble. Sort of a relief, really... Hard to argue with a Whizzy review, though, isn't it? So darn THOROUGH! When there's something good to say, he says it just as loudly as when there isn't. Quote
TheNakedWhiz Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Syzygies, I hereby request that you start using a handle that I can a) type and pronounce. I have a sample of something from Dennis to play with. If I can, I plan to do a side by side with the Philippine charcoal that I still have in my small hoard. I think there is hope. Wish me luck!

Sanny Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 ...I think there is hope. Wish me luck! Good luck, Whizzy! And a happy new year, besides. Quote
jdbower Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Pesky Dennis, getting the opinion of a disinterested third party and the premiere online charcoal reviewer before sending out his charcoal. Next thing you know he'll take your input and make improvements on the product if you're not happy Quote
Syzygies Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 ...I think there is hope. Wish me luck! Good luck, Whizzy! Yes, Good luck, Whyzygies! Quote
TheNakedWhiz Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Now why didn't I think of that, lol Quote
