    So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

      Lowes and Home Depot also carry bags of wood chunks. Locally anyways.

        For charcoal, I really like Royal Oak lump charcoal, but the size is very inconsistent. For hardwood briquettes, I love Rancher. It is hard to find, but smells, burns, tastes just like hardwood lump. They used to carry it at Trader Joes. Wicked Good lump is also really good but pricey.

            Uniform size, consistent burn, readily available . . . sounds like a good choice. Where does the ash go in the new rig?

              there is a tray below the coal grate where the ash and ember fall, also lighting the wood chunks in the process.

                I haven't tried Kingsford comp, but I found this review informative.

                Side by side testing of the new Kingsford Competition briquettes vs. their original briquettes.

                  Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the gravity fed concept pretty recent? It's genius--it just surprises me it took so long for someone to come up with the idea.

                    It allegedly started with Stump and yes, it is relatively recent. based on how ubiquitous they are now on the comp circuit, I would say they are the real deal. I agree, the concept is fantastic.

                            The board just met. Good news, they approved my new position. Bad news, no pay raise with the new title.

                                That one is pretty weird. I've seen ones built out of old refrigerators, which makes a lot more sense.
