All about charcoal

Here’s another “everything you wanted to know about charcoal” guide. This one is from the Virtual Weber Bullet, and is quite comprehensive. It covers everything from the origins of charcoal to which brands you should be using.

Ultimately, the author’s choice of charcoal is Kingsford:

I recommend Kingsford to new WSM owners because it’s a very consistent product that is available nationwide, at an affordable price, and it provides a long, consistent burn. Using Kingsford takes one variable out of the barbecue equation, making it easier for folks to duplicate the recipes I publish here on the Web site.

However, the author is also quick to point out that you shouldn’t use Kingsford charcoal just because he says so. They encourage you to use the information in the article, and your own experience and preferences to decide what works best for you.

Personally, I have been using lump charcoal, which is nice, but it burns pretty quickly and it can be harder to create a uniform fire with. I’ve recently started uses Kingsford myself, and have been quite happy with it. Your mileage may vary.
