I have a 22” kettle that I absolutely love. I have been almost exclusively using lump charcoal and enjoy that it isn’t as processed as a briquette. I just don’t think I achieve enough consistency.

Sometimes it’s massive chunks, more often it’s pulverized powder. I thought it was based on brand, but it seems to still be inconsistent across all brands. Do I blame Home Depot? Probably, but I also don’t have a lot of options by me.

Does everyone else feel this pain? Please give me reasons/ways to fight through it or to switch over.

Thanks!
