I was looking for the review of Franklin charcoal and couldn't find it.  SO, here is a new thread.
 
	I am a B&B fan, but my HEB was sold out and they had this, so I picked it up to use on my WSM to smoke some spare ribs:

	I used a chimney and a Webber starter to light the coals.  When they lit, smoke was billowing out.  It was much more intense than B&B.  I use the minion method on my WSM and given the smoke these things were putting out, I removed one chunk of oak (B&B oak chunks).  I just didn't want the meat over-powered.  I was worried.
 
	The ribs are wrapped and have an hour to go, but I have to say that these coals get back to temp after opening the lid much more quickly and consistently than B&B.  I haven't tasted anything yet, but my fireboard is loving the temp regulation.
 
	I use B&B lump for my BGE when cooking steaks, burgers, etc.  I like for the coals to ash over a bit before putting the meat on to avoid any off "creosote" type flavors. 
 
	Any recs out there?  Anyone like the Central Market offerings?
