A friendly alternative to lumpwood charcoal

[Eddie]

So is this worth a buy - a little dearer than the blue bags but thats because of shipping. Would like to know where they stock it locally.

Here is a link to the stockist and as you can see there are quite a few, just zoom in. http://www.bridgebrooke.co.uk/our-stockists.html

I wonder if they will deal direct for the odd 10kg box as I'm only just down the road from the factory

I ordered the 2x10kg box for £25 delivered from Kevin Monk as Eddie suggested at around lunchtime ish and they were on my doorstep by 930 the following day.
I'd suggest dropping him an email it can't hurt, contact details are on their site

Yeah I dropped an email this afternoon do hopefully I'll hear monday

I got a call back this morning from a very friendly guy called Kevin! I probably ended up talking to him for about 15 mins! They are happy for me to drop by and pick up a box as and when i need it I just need to give them a couple of days notice so it can be ready when I get there and all for £10 per 10kg which Im more than happy with! So far the customer sevice has been first rate, I mean who takes time out for a call back these days? Now all I need to do is get my self in gear and hope we get a decent October like last year!

Sorry I haven't read the whole thread but I mixed some of this that Eddie gave me with big K briquettes. Yes I was a bit scared they would not light easily enough that why I mixed it. Got a really good smoke in my Weber Kettle and I found the temperature easier to regulate that normal. Held between 250 - 270 for about 6 hours with 1 one small top up and it could have went on for a lot longer, so I'm quite pleased with it.

I just bought some of these yesterday, eagerly awaiting delivery! Can't wait to give them a go this weekend. Was £25 for 2 x 10kg boxes including next day delivery. Doesn't seem too bad value wise to me! Wanted to try something different to the Bluebag from Makro.

Just gotta decide what to cook this weekend.. another attempt at pulled pork or perhaps I should give some ribs an attempt?

Good luck, especially with the weather

So many plans.............................so much rotten weather.

Well it's a beautiful day today so I'm attempting to cook my first slab of ribs using these new charcoal bits! I will say one thing though man are they tricky to get started! 3 loads of paper plus blowtorch didn't work in the chimney starter! Had to set some big k briquettes going and sit these on top of them in the chimney starter and that did the trick
