    which pellet grill is right for me? Insight please

    I've been smoking on a Brinkmann duo with firebox for the last year and a half.  it's a lot of work managing the fire in that thing.  Harder than a lot of others i would guess based on the thin material, poor fit, and design.  I love the flavor and I enjoy the work but anything longer than about...

    lump coal for fuel

    I feel like i'm burning through lump faster than i should be.  All the bags I can find seem to be small shards of broken garbage that doesn't burn for long.  Are there better brands with bigger chunks? How can I tell if a bag is full of slivers instead of chunks? Should I care?  I went...
