Just wanted to give a heads up on lighting Fogo. I use a Mapp torch to light my lump, but won't use it anymore on Fogo. Using the torch really causes a lot of sparking, so if you are near any combustibles, dry grass, wood deck etc., don't use a torch. I like the Fogo and use Rockwood as well.

Yeah, it happens with most of the lump I use. To avoid the fireworks, I will either light a few briquettes or some leftover, partially burnt lump to start the fire. Then dump some fresh lump on top it. I can usually get to cooking temps in my Webers in less than 15 minutes.

I’ve noticed that Fogo, B&B lump and Chigger Creek lump. Doesn’t seem to spark on Jealous Devil or Royal Oak lump.Comment
