ckreef Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thought I would bring back a little fun from days gone by. Using a 19" KK table top model and Royal Oak lump I want to see how many cooks I can do without stirring the old lump before it clogs up and causes temperature problems. Started by cleaning out the KK and opening a new 17 lb bag of RO. I filled the firebox by dumping straight from the bag. Each subsequent cook I'll take a peak at the leftover lump and WITHOUT stirring it just top it off by dumping straight from the bag. I think I'll be able to go through at least 2 x 17 lb bags of RO before running into issues. We shall find out. Here is cook number 1. Here is cook number 2 with lump leftover from the previous cook. Here is cook number 3 with lump leftover from the previous cook. Check back often to see where this experiment ends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks for the offer but I think I have the eating part covered with a 17 year old boy in the house. He usually eats as much as me and Mrs skreef combined - LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Cook number 4. Forgot to take an on grill picture. I had Brunswick Stew going in my 16" so I cooked a pan of muffin top corn bread in the 19" for this cook. I did include a money shot.

Aussie Ora Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 By the taste I reckon it would go really well with seafood as well an all rounder Outback Kamado Bar and Grill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 For now on I'll skip the pouring lump picture unless it really enhances the post. All lump is poured directly from the bag. Cook number 5 Cook number 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
