Jealous Devil vs B&B Oak

[scullybones]

I was using B&B Oak Lump and I saw Home Depot had a sale on Jealous Devil. Over the years I have seen good mentions about JD, but availability has been a problem for me. Without a doubt I picked it up and I would say this is my new go to. The lump clearly lasts longer and burns just as clean if not better.

I was a convert too. B&B Lump was my preference until I tried Jealous Devil Lump. Now I'm a JD fan.

Wish JD would make some normal sized briquettes. The big ones don’t make a ton of sense to me for a good number of my cooks.

but their pellets and lump are 👨🍳💋

I bought a few bags on sale. Need to get my drum smoker assembled so I can use them.

I'm a new convert, too.

Jealous Devil and Fogo are my goto lump charcoals. Don't think I have bought a lump other than those two for a couple years

I loaded up some JD to roast a chicken in the BGE; I didn’t want to smoke it, just cook it indirect outdoors. I let it run at 350-400° for almost an hour, waiting for the smoke to clear. It was blue, but I didn’t want any smoke at all!

I shut the vents and did the chicken inside. I’m used to FOGO burning clean, and not to slag on JD, but this wasn’t the first time I’ve used it, and I don’t recall it ever happening before. All the pieces were HUGE, too, like the size of an acorn squash. Good for some things, not so good for others, I guess.
