Charcoal Comparison Tests

Charcoal Comparison Tests

The Equipment:

• Flame Boss200
• UDS Drum BBQ
• ProQ Chimney Starter
• ThermaQ Temperature Monitor

The Test:

• One Full Chimney starter of charcoal
• Started with wood wool and left until fully lit
• Flame Boss set to 230F (a common temperature for low n'slow)
• Pour the lit charcoal into the basket
• Put basket into the UDS, and let the Flame Boss do its job.
• The ThermaQ is a calibrated thermometer was used to confirm the Temp.

For the purposes of comparisons I am grouping the charcoal into three groups.

Lumpwood, Briquettes, and composite (everything else)
