We've talked about what charcoals people like in various dimensions (burn length, etc) and while it's been mentioned in passing, I don't think we've had a post/thread about ash. Soo0...
For a given amount of charcoal, do you all see much variation in the ash left? Does it matter to you? I've used KBB mostly but it does tend to leave a bunch of ash and I wonder if that means I'm getting a charcoal that's lower quality than others that seem to leave less ash.
I don't care that much about cleanup - gotta do it, so... eh. But if the amount of ash remains correlate with quality... how? The nature of the smoke? Burn length? Or do they now correlate with anything?
FWIW I have a bag of Weber on deck. I've been burning Kingsford Hardwood (which makes me ask precisely what KBB is, if not hardwood). And the Hardwood stuff has been pretty nice and seems to leave less ash... but I don't see a significant difference with burn time. If anything, it burns a little faster than KBB.
Thoughts?
