The same as the other charcoal tests that I have done for a bit of fun and to offer some insights into different charcoals. I fill the same starter chimney with charcoal, weigh it, light it, and then the flames hit near the top and go into the gateway Drum Smoker. The Flame Boss 200 regulates the set temperature 2of 30F, and we can see how hard the fan has to work to do this. We can see the temperature fluctuations measured by the Flame Boss, and we compare this to the readings from the TermaQ, a calibrated thermometer.
Description
Made from sustainably harvested Namibian encroaching bush species. To make degraded areas usable again, the bushes are deliberately thinned out. Bushes and shrubs are selectively harvested and processed into Premium Namibian Hardwood Charcoal.
