Where to Find Lump Charcoal
Q: ..where can I get "lump" coal? Grocery store, walmart,
gander mountain, bass pro shop, etc.
Just as important, you say use charcoal the ENTIRE time for the heat
source and the wood only for flavor...does this mean that I have to
continually add charcoal over the time it takes to smoke the meat? I mean
the charcoal will not last the whole time it takes to say, cook some spare
ribs, right? Ill have to add more to maintain the temperature in the
smoker?
A: You will need to continually add charcoal as needed.. I like to get it burning in a separate container and add "already lit" charcoal to the charcoal pan. They make a charcoal chimney which is made specifically for this purpose which you can pick up at Wal-mart, Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, or online at amazon.com
Just add a trowel full every hour or so to maintain the 225 degrees or whatever your target temperature is for what you are smoking.
As far as Lump charcoal.. I have better luck finding it at my local grocery store but I have a feeling that the demand for it plays a big part on how easy it is to find. I have quite a few folks tell me that it is difficult to find in certain parts of the country.
You can order it on Amazon.com as well but there may be some other places you could order it from as well if you do a search in Google.com for "buy lump charcoal online" or something similar. You might also try to find a fireplace and grill store in your area and see if they have it or can order it for you.
Kingsford just began making lump a while back.. they call it charwood and you may be able to find that wherever you buy the briquettes.
