After getting home I see that there is a bottom burn grate in there. I'll just try to clean it out and use larger pieces and see if that helps. As an aside, I notice that the pizza I cooked last night had a real smoke or charcoal or something flavor that I was not used to. Does this thing just really need a good cleaning or is that the flavor the lump charcoal imparts to all food on the Egg?

Clean? Maybe vacuum the ash out of the bottom. Flavor imparted would depend on the flavor of charcoal.

Thermapen and guru digi q is worth looking into. Expensive but so was the egg.

Cleaned the Egg out last night and a few of the holes in the bottom half were clogged with charcoal. I'll hopefully get to try it tonight again. I got on "Hi-Que" or some websight and ordered a stainless steel fire grate and a new high performance gasket. I noticed my egg was leaking smoke when I shut everything down. Hopefully the new stainless fire grate will allow more air and burn a little hotter.

As far as I know there is no flavor on this Cowboy charcoal. I can tell you that taste would not be very good on breads or cookies or anything like that. Maybe the charcoal was just smoldering too much because the pizza had a real smoky taste.

Cowboy lump isn't the best - you can check http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lump.htm for lump reviews.

I get either Rockwood or Ozark Oak from the place below - both premium lump charcoal. Order $100 worth and the shipping is free! Read up on both - they really are a cut above most other lump.

FireCraft has tons of other cool BBQ stuff worth checking out as well, including some really tasty rubs.

I just use the egg charcoal? Works good and cost 20 bucks for a 20 pound bag like in the link above.

Between the two of us we might have the market cornered.

According to the naked whiz (http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lump.htm) BGE charcoal is Royal Oak lump wearing the BGE badge and you are paying for that accordingly.

Our Walmart used to carry it.

Lawn and garden centers etc.

Ace hardware possibly.

Home depot show it on their website but stores vary.

Gotta get out there and beat the bushes.
