hoogl Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I have a bag of the KJ big block. Got the Aldi Kamado on the way too so will give it a bash in there. I've used tesco Lumpwood in the past on the Mini Kamado from Lidl. It's meh, does the job but better with a quality Lumpwood like Icefever says.

Sherbet66 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Everburn Charcoal, best there is at the price point, good large chunks for long cooks. I've tried loads and its the closest to KJ big block, but 15kg and at £25 its a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbqoldie Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 not sure about premium as such, but i got a bag of this yesterday at b+q, because its the first time i've spotted the elusive "restaurant grade" stuff there https://www.diy.com/departments/restaurant-smokeless-coal-12kg/5060098640071_BQ.prd 12kg @ £15. i'll let you guys know how bad a decision it was when i get to this bag.

Sherbet66 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I have bought this before and had a fairly large amount of dross at the bottom of the bag, some big bits but mostly medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
