jdbower Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 KKEC does take a while to come up to temperatures above ~300F or so but having power draft (Stoker/Guru) does help. For low-and-slows I use KKEC, but for higher temps I do what FM does and use the local varieties of lump. Wally World by me doesn't sell much other than binder-filled briquettes, but Lowes sells Cowboy and the grocery stores sell some more premium brands. Frankly for high temp cooks I'm not sure I can tell the difference other than Cowboy has a bit more of that rather relaxing tinging sound when it lights.

johnnyboy Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Outside of KKEC, you won't go wrong with Cowboy or Royal Oak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
