Ribs look great!

How does the cost compare to regular lump?

It's a little more expensive Mike. I bought the medium box which is equal to 22 pounds of lump and it cost me $22.00.  If it lasts and works
like it is advertised than I think I will end up saving money in the long run.

Ok cool! Unlike Tee most of us have to watch our finances.

I shouldn't spoil the surprise but every member might find one of these money angels under their tree!  ;)

Really good looking ribs, Mike.  Might to look into that sugar.

As far as usage, you said that you had enough left over for a few burgers.  Is that about the same as you would have expected with a similar load of KBB?





BD

I am going to test that out next. I normally will use about a chimney and a half of KBB in the Slow n Sear. I only used 1 chimney of the lump. I am not sure if that is a
fair comparison.  I may just use both of my Webers and test a chimney of KBB in one and the other 1 chimney of the lump and go for about 3 hours and then see.  Any different ideas
on a good comparison test?

I'm curious about their claim that you can use the coals five times.   It sounds like they're saying that you can load it up like you normally would and then have four more cooks using the leftovers.  (Their website shows starting with burgers, then steak, fish, kabobs and and up with some hot dogs.)

I'd be curious to see how filling one Weber basket with KBB and the other with Black Diamond and see how they run in the same kettle at the same time. 

The medium box, which is the one I think you bought, is advertised to be the equivalent to 33 lbs. of briquettes.  That's about the same as the two bag deal from Kingsford.  Ace shows that for $22, which is just a little more than the regular price for KBB. 

So, it seems to balance pretty much out.
