i find that after about a 5 hour cook on my uds, i have only burned 15-20% of my kingsford lump. i also just close the vents and on the next cook i just shake the burned ash out of the firebox, add a few coals and start over again!!:mrgreen:
Kid,
Close your vents when you are taking the lid off, actually a little before, and you won't get as much of a spike. Just have to remember to reopen.
Last time I did that, I thought my fire went out as well, but 1/2 hour later it was hot again. Just must have shut the fire way down. :biggrin:
funny you bring this up - we experimented with lump this weekend on 4 racks of ribs. 1 WSM with 2 funnles of K and the other WSM with a funnel and a 1/2 of Cowboy.
Lump smelled much better, did not leave that odd flavor in the meat that K does and it did burn hotter and faster. I liked it better.
