For me, Royal Oak lump. There are many brands out there. Are you wanting to smoke or grill???

 

[zicrush]

I want to do both, grill and sometimes smoke

In general, lump charcoal is the best. Brickettes create so much ash that they will clog up a BGE.

Your best brand is dependent on what you can buy locally and what brand suits your cooking style the best. I burn a lot of Humphrey's, because it's pretty good and always available 1 mile from my house.

When I cook a lot of food, I go with Wicked Good Charcoal. It's so dense I get a few hours of extra cooking time on the same volume of charcoal.

I second the humphrys that's what i use in my keg, stumps, and wsm, royal oak on occasion, but prefer the humphrys.

Thank you for your responses, the only issue that i have now it's the price, i don't want to overpaid, i quoted a large bge, only the grill, here in tucson for $809.00 + tax $200 dollars more than a BSK

Lump is best...(and recommended)...:thumb:

I recommend getting a platesetter as well for indirect cooking and smoking. Call around some dealers in your area for the best price. Click HERE for a couple of dealers in Tucson...

Have fun! :thumb:

See it?

You have a beautiful place there in VA

the ceramic cooker I think has a definite advantage. After the ceramic gets "charged" with heat, it radiates back ... you get 3 types of cooking at once ... direct (I think this would be conduction), convection (if using platesetter) and radiant from the ceramic. I really think this is the secret of the thing.

Sorry to mislead you but that's not my place. I got that pic from "The New Outdoor Kitchen" book and I'm modeling my outdoor kitchen by that one. That one is actually the author's personal kitchen. I wrote her and asked permission to use the pics.

That one is 10x10'. I'm going to make mine 12x12' because that's the biggest outdoor building I can build and not need a building permit.

I only have access where i live to mezquite charcoal, does this work well with this kind of grills??

I have been using a mesquite lump charcoal in my keg and it works great. Very little ash and easy to control temp.

I'm sure yours will be as nice or better.
