Bought over a quarter ton of KBB

[JPGators17]

Or 595.2 pounds. I figured either of those would sound sexier than just saying 32 18.6lb bags. Who got a full ton?

[JeffJ]

Last year I bought 18 bags. 32 is a LOT of charcoal.

[Spinaker]

PaulstheRibList bought it by the pallet last year. Maybe that was two years ago.......... He knows how to do it right. Just back the truck up, go in back and tell them to load the whole pallet. Done. It would feel pretty awesome doing that.

I remember that one, it was pretty cool. If I bought that much I would have to invest in a butcher shop to make it worth my while.

[DWCowles]

I bought 30 bags 2 1/2 years ago and still got 18 bags left so I should be good for 3 more years .

Way to go JPGators17 !!! Now you just have to show us lots of pics of your cooking!

Spinaker , It was actually....Two Pallets! Now I can't remember exactly, but I think a pallet is 48 bags? That makes it just shy of a ton, lol. Since I purchased that, I sort or quit using #WhoDat1, the big gravity-fed smoker, as our primary. My quest for perfect fire management has us focusing on those beloved stickburners! #WhoDat1 uses 4+ bags for a big brisket smoke! So we have a little over half of the charcoal left. The Raccoons in the warehouse like to tear open the bags and I guess eat some charcoal for a snack???

Good times!

[JPGators17]

We have a winner! The man bought so much they threw in a firetruck.

[Craigar]

Hey PaulstheRibList do you still have plans for the firetruck?

[PaulstheRibList]

Craigar, Absolutely! It's not on the top of the list, but #BarbecueFiretruck is definitely on the list!

[xaugievike]

Yo...I got 20 bags and thought I did something.

did I read on a post that you have a BBQ guru on my pbc? if so how was the installation of the adp, plate on the intake? and where did you put the themo. probe for it if you had the grill out?

[JPGators17]

Planner47 the guru was already installed on my pbc when I bought it from a guy on Craigslist, so I can't speak to the installation. I feed the probe through the rod holes just enough so that it hangs as far out from the side as possible.

[JPGators17]

You can also try clipping it to the brackets the grate would sit on.

thanks JP

I bought 4 double packs of KBB and thought that was a lot. I guess I am just bush league compared to you guys.

[Butchman]

I saw that Costco has the Kingsford competition premium charcoal on sale 2 18 lb bags for $14 and change. Is this better than KBB?

[Jerod Broussard]

I would love love to go pick up a pallet of B & B. I may early next year. Save mucho $$$, so much I thought the guy quoted me the wrong price.

[FireMan]

Ok, how much?

[Jerod Broussard]

FireMan I'll find out when I actually order

[FireMan]

2 pallets of Kingsford, what fun lovin guy or gal would'nt love to have that in their garage. I had two bags left, bought ten & two RO lump,then a friend gave me two KB. I am trying to hide them in plain sight. So far so good. Although the protest will be just a whimper about budget & things. 2 pallets, one can only imagine. My friends thought I was a little off center when they moved me 2 1/2 yrs ago when they loaded up 6 bags. 2 pallets, now that would be MCS at its highest form.

It is all about preference. I like KP better because it burns hotter with fewer ashes than KBB. I have also noticed there's less of the heavy, white smoke when you are first firing it up and there is less off-putting smells associated with KP versus KBB. The downside is since it burns hotter it also burns faster. For example, with KBB in my 22.5" kettle with SnS I can get 10-12 hours running at 250. With KP the burn times come down to 8-10 hours. The time difference is not a deal breaker for me so I will keep using KP.

[Butchman]

Thanks for the response Craigar, saves me the time and effort of experimenting!

[Craigar]

Butchman my pleasure. That is why we are all here, to help where we can. I guess what I was trying to say earlier is the KP overall burns hotter and cleaner.
