KBB Labor Day Sale

Last week they had a one day sale 2 x 20lb bags for 9.98 I only purchased 20 bags total. I need to build space in my garage for when deals like that come up again, and just buy my whole years worth. I had no idea I would ever go through this much charcoal. I am happy I am, but, no way I could afford to do it if not on sale at times.

I've used it for all types of cooking but normally save it for the poultry hot n fast stuff. Bobmcgahan

Bobmcgahan you don't find that using briquettes generates too much ash? i have only ever used lump in my Primo.
-
It does generate a lot of ash but given that I still have briquettes that have not been burned down all the way after 20 hours, I'm ok with the trade-off. I've never tried to do a long low-and-slow smoke with lump. I saw Chris Lilly use the Kingsford Competition on the BGE and have used it with the Primo. Yeah, I know, he got paid to use it but it works for me.

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Maverick 732, DigiQ, and too much other stuff to mention.
I have so much charcoal from the last sale that I have it stored in trash bags, inside storage bins, under the deck. I’d actually forgotten about it all, and rediscovered it about a month ago; thought, “Hmmmm, I think I know what’s in there,’ and sure enough, 6 more bags of charcoal and 3 bags of lump. I think I bought it at the end of summer 2017. I’ve been actually trying to waste it, using almost a full chimney for 3 hamburgers. But a full chimney gives me a better smash burger, the griddle gets hotter. Half a chimney, they aren’t as good.
Sigh. If you want the best, sometimes you gotta pay. Anyhow, I have enough charcoal to hold out until the mid-winter sale.

Last year and this winter I came across the best deals I've ever seen on charcoal. Last fall Walmart but Western lump on clearance - 30 pound bag for $6.95 I bought 6 and have 1 left. This winter I came across 14.5 pound bags of Embers briquettes on clearance for $1.90 per bag. Yes, that is not a typo. I purchased 11 bags and have 2 left.
