Last week I picked up a bag of Blues Hog lump charcoal to try. Today I am grilling hot dogs for dinner. I dumped a half of a Kick Ash Basket into the Keg and lit it and went about cleaning the broken beer bottle and beer from the extra fridge and within like 10-15 minutes the keg was up just over 300 degrees and smelling great from the smoke coming from the top vent. I usually start the Keg well before I need it to get it where I want it but this charcoal is something I'm definitely going to be buying again. As I was putting it in the Keg I liked what I was seeing.
