Testing out the "Chef's Select" charcoal

[Fwismoker]

This is the RO charcoal that Doitbest sells online that you can have shipped to their store. It wasn't a bad price...i'm thinking 21 dollars for a 40 lb bag but it's made from all hardwood and not all the fillers. I was going to do a side by side test with KB but the Chefs Select briquettes are twice as big so it wouldn't be a fair test.

Heat wise and ash i'll put this up against lump charcoal. By the looks of the smoke it was burning really clean which is nice to see.

I threw on some frozen solid quarters on the smoker....Yea i never used to cook frozen chicken but it thaws out fast. This chicken didn't need seared at all but i wanted to see how it held up ash wise so i threw the chicken in there after blowing off the ash that was there. Pleasantly surprised because it didn't pick up any ash from the briquettes.

Here ya go.

I only had the mini's basket filled maybe 60-70% and this is what i have left after a 400 plus degree cook and sear with the frozen chicken quarters... not too bad, they look very much intact!
