Stumps Clone build

[Gerrit_Boys]

I have yet to have a bridge in mine with kingsford but I can tell you that lump is preferable to briquettes from a taste standpoint. I've had a couple of bridges before I knew to break up pieces. I also avoid dumping dust down the chute. If I ever make another one I will without a doubt taper the chute.

would bridging be less of a problem it charcoal briquettes were used?

I too am in the drawing stages of a stumps clone. a lot of my build is coming from darrelb's clone on Prairie

I have a friend who uses briquettes and has a bridge from time to time.
