jdbower Posted May 15, 2009 Report 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.
