    Royal Oak lump sucks... sorta liked the briquettes though... still stuck to my kingsford when I can though
    I've been using Royal Oak for years. But it sucks.

    I got a pallet cheap from Walmart years ago, and I haven't worked my way through it yet.

    it's cowboy brand, oak and hickory mix. $17 for 18 lbs. Picked it up at costco on the reserve.

    for briquettes I prefer the weber ones. I find they burn longer and hotter than kingsford.

    Oh, is Royal Oak bad?!? I haven't tried it yet, but good to know.
    Yup, the lump is garbage, mostly small chips... 2/3 of it goes straight through my weber chimney and I've found more rocks in it than any other brand I've tried.
    The briquettes are at least usable, but kingsford is better (although I've read even Kingsford is trash these days).

    I remember seeing it a few years ago before they started selling Traegers and bags of pellets instead.

    Thanks. I recently grabbed a small bag of the Cowboy Oak&Hickory at Superstore and it was way better than the RO. This works out cheaper though.

    Anyone tried the Vision Grills lump at Home Depot?
    Might as well pick a brand and stock up now for the season before it becomes a hot commodity again.

    Anyone looking for a used Traeger Pro22 model, send me a PM. my buddy is selling his and doesn't want to deal with Kijiji. I think he's asking $850.

    Side ribs going on at 11. This was the only “bbq” cut I ended up with from my pig. Not Nessecarily my preference, but because we split 3 ways most of the traditional bbq cuts went to sausage or bone in chops.

    Buddy who insisted on maximizing pork chops is not being invited to the pig buy next time.

    Grilled pork chops are pretty good for BBQ though. Thinner sliced, so you can get more char and flavor. Vietnamese style!

    New topic.

    Been kicking around getting a big charcoal offset to add to my Arsenal, but have gotten more interested in potentially trying a Kamado style smoker as well.

    I already have an electric, so pellet offset (trawler style) doesn’t interest me as much. I’m fine using my Bradley for automated cooks. This I want for when I want to make a day of it and enjoy the process.

    Pros and cons? Brands people like?

    An attractive aspect of an offset for me is doing bigger cooks ( whole packer briskets, Several racks of ribs, multiple chickens, big batches of wings or jerky, I dunno ). I worry that a Kamado would be limiting in this regard.

    Discuss!

    I have so many "traeger bros" in my social circle that it's overwhelming. Almost want something else just to piss them off.

    I thought I wanted a traeger. Even put up a few fights in some charity auctions for them over the last 2 years (kudos to service companies who keep donating them!).

    I’ve changed my mind.

    Issue with an offset here is that all the good ones are from south of the border... for it to be good, it has to be heavy gauge steel, which is $$$$$ to ship.

    Also, they seem like a good idea, but offsets have a huge range of temps due to the design, so pita to dial in, reverse draft or whatever it’s called helps to even this out, but still enough to effect cook times if you attempt to maximize the space

    For green egg style, there is a brand that does an oval shaped one, broil king maybe? Broil something rings a bell... that one looks interesting, saw one in action and the guys had a ton more real estate than a regular round one

    I would love a really good offset smoker, but such big dollars! I have done a lot of good bbq with a cheap old char-griller but I definitely spent a lot of effort modifying the hell out of it to make it more consistent and manageable, and even then it was a bitch in any kind of inclement weather. I would smoke in my garage on a regular basis when it was shit out. lol

    Doing a Beef Tenderlion this weekend, 7lbs.

    Is it safe to budget an hour per pound on one of these bad boys?
