Ron, I used Maple Leaf brand charcoal last year.It's a hardwood charcoal that I found only in corner stores around here,could'nt get it over the winter.However I found it to have an excellent burn time in the ECB almost as good as briquettes.Most of the lump you find in these parts is'nt hardwood and you'll find a big difference in burn times,and I'm sure you'll have better results in a WSM.Last week I bought some "Quebec Maple" hardwood lump at Sobies.I hav'nt Qu'ed with it yet, but i did grill some steaks over it last nite on the ECB and it was awesome,real sweet smoke from it.Nuth'in like i've smelled from any other lump or briq.Anyway hope this helpfull.Good Q'n Bigj.
