John A Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I'm going to cook a 15 pound packer brisket and was wondering which charcoal to use. I'm going to use a smoke pot with apple wood chips. It's going to be a long cook and I wanted to be sure I choose the right charcoal. Any opinions? The posts that I've read suggest that the coffee charcoal is more for shorter cooks. Also how big do I make the charcoal chunks for the coffee or coco charcoal ?

Steve M Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 I would use the coco char if you have it. I had my kk going this weekend for nearly 24 hours and didn't use half the basket. You can get your smoke flavors from the smoke pot. As far as the size of the chunks, I knock 2 of them together and they generally will break into 3 sections which seems about right. Quote
EGGARY Posted February 24, 2017 Report Posted February 24, 2017 Cooking a Turkey tomorrow. Thinking about using the Coffee Charcoal. Has anyone done a turkey with coffee charcoal ? If so, how was the flavor ? Thanks. Quote
dstr8 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) ^ Yes. Great! You will have more imparted light smoke/wood essence to the bird using CoffeeChar than using CocoChar but I like the Coffee Charcoal's flavor impart. Edited February 24, 2017 by dstr8 1 Quote
FotonDrv Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 Coffee Char is good on Fowl, actually pretty good for many things. Quote
