I did 20 lbs of jealous devil on Kamado joe. No lie in 20 degree weather 30 hours later I was a 225. Af 36 hours 175. Insanely good charcoal and insanely good smoker. Thanks for the video.
We have been burning axe breaker wit the Kamado Joe for about three years. Recently found Jealous Devil, and it is exactly what I was getting from kamado joe, only less money. I like 👍it for everything. Even their jumbo briquets work fantastic. I was able to hit 867^ on my Kamado great. Just stumbled upon your channel. Nice work.
Open the oxygen flaps underneath and leave the lid open if you want to measure highest heat value. It needs a steady source of oxygen. Closing the lid is not going to get you the maximum heat value. I bet it can get up to 1000’F or even more. I used Kamado Joe Lump Charcoal which had super large Lumps and I got it ripping at 1200’F. Absolutely amazing sear on AAA Angus high quality 1.5 inch thick New York Strip-loin steaks and 1.5 inch Ribeye steaks. Amazing Charcoal. Thank you for the hands on practical review, it was very helpful. Based on your review I’m going to stick with FOGO and Kamado Joe Lump Charcoal. 👍👍
Like your videos. I started with b&b , but the price was a little high for me. Went to Royal oak and you are right, unburied lump coal still in my grill after I cook.
Thanks for your review. If you buy the 35 lb. bag ( Amazon ) it is less pricy. I was going to post my comparison tween B&B and Jealous Devil with equal weights, using Weber baskets at opposite ends of my kettle with vent wide open and lid off. This is your channel, so I will not report until you do. Keep up the good work....
I just got a bag of the million $ stuff. Doing a video tonight on it. I am surprised, I wanted to not like it because of the dollar. Subbed to your channel sir and thanks for the help. Cheers.
@@FLYINGSMOKE awesome sir ty! I just did my video and have it up. I look forward to more of your videos. Have a blessed day. Was a bit crazy for us out in Ca then earthquakes stirred up some fears of our great state but alls well.
I have used JD for about a year now. I find it far better than the usual Royal Oak in many ways. Royal Oak seems to get beat up in shipping or they fill with really small pieces. JD is always medium pieces with some large pieces mixed in. JD produces much more heat in the application I use it, a Kamado sytle cooker, Primo XL oval. JD produces much less ash than other brands. B&B in my experience has a ton of snap, crackle, pop where JD has none. Using a ceramic grill, I don't typically use a chimney to start the coals, I use the big compressed cardboard I guess they are or wax cubes. JD burns hot and a very small amount of coals can get me to 400 º no problem. The obvious comparison here would be JD vs Fogo. Great review.
Ran a 100 pounds thru my Kamado joe big joe. Puts great red color on the meat. Great flavor. Families not big on heavy smoke flavor. They all enjoy it.
I use it for longer cooks of Brisket and Pork Butt's. Your results mirror mine even though I use a WSM. My last long cook I used B&B lump with impressive results. I would like to see a head to head with both brands.
These reviews are my favorite, still waiting for fogo super premium in the brown bag, another flavor of the week and im interested how it stacks up and Also the jelous devil briquettes and the weber ones not sure if those have been done yet
I like that charcoal, but it's really pricey, I don't think it's worth the extra expense, like you said, the bag is tough, but due to the price, I won't buy it again or try FOGO and any other so called premium charcoal, it doesn't perform that much better than Royal Oak, IMHO, to warrant double or more, the price. I'm gonna try B & B since you and other youtubers seem to get great results from that brand, the price is just a little more than Royal Oak. I'm just a backyard BBQ guy, but your videos do help in determining what's good and what's not, so thanks for the review!
good, can't wait to see it, but whatever happens, I think it's hard to justify the price, maybe for you competition guys it's a great option, I just didn't see that much better performance, I've long cooked killer briskets, ribs and pulled pork with royal oak, which is really a common brand here in so cal, But for just a few more bucks, I'll give B & B a try
@@FLYINGSMOKE That would be great to mention the price, BTW, I ordered Jealous Devil from Amazon, was $34 delivered, I get royal oak, same size bag for $12, I know I can order B & B from Ace for about $16, I'd be willing to pay that for better performance for sure
Any moisture will have an effect but that’s unavoidable in the south… I store mine in my garage but with 70% humidity it’s going to happen. Shouldn’t effect your cook
@@FLYINGSMOKE I live in South Louisiana. We have 100-98% through the night into early morning and at the peak of Summer heat we still above 70-76% humidity. Can’t escape moisture here! At this moment it’s 91° here with 71% humidity and a THSW (temp-hum-Solar-wind) index of 119° Try grilling in these conditions 😉😂
It would be cool if you did a review of Japanese binchotan charcoal. It is very expensive but it’s claimed to be some kind of super-charcoal made by the Japanese for centuries. It takes weeks to make it. I have never seen it before.
I wonder if you could test out the PK Heavy Duty charcoal basket? Curious to know if two of them would be good to use for SCA events, or if it restricts airflow too much to get the GrillGrates hot enough.
Have your ever put Fogo Charcoal H2H vs. B&B Lump? Fogo has Argentian Quebracho. I enjoy lump but I've experienced quite a bit of popping. Kinda of scary if your around dry brush.
Hi, I'm just throwing some steaks, burgers on the grill using JD and wanted to know how long after I start it that I can be able to grill at safe temps (350 degrees) ? Thanks!
You mean the grill surface temperature right? I use a Thermoworks HVAC gun in comps. But at home I normally use a dual zone and spin the grates. I hope that makes sense. But if you have a chimney of JD it’s a hot burning charcoal. Another way is grill spray normally burns off at 450-600. So at least you’ll know you really hot there. I hope that helps
There’s a video that compares JD with Fogo Super Premium. In that test, JD was much less hot than the Fogo for the first 20m and then it caught up and surpassed the Fogo temp later on. I’m curious about whether this is repeatable/consistent. Did you notice the JD getting much hotter after a bunch of time passed?
There are TONS of things you can do with a Weber kettle. It takes some ingenious ideas as it’s not really made for low and slow but with some patience and gizmos you can make or buy it’s totally doable
hi, looks like it's a very fun positive activity and really needs experience for the best results, thanks for sharing the joy. introduce, I'm from Sumatra, Indonesia, I've just been thinking about starting a new business, and I really want to know from your experience about the quality of briquettes needed there, because I'm sure the standards needed in your place are the best. also I want to know what do you think about coal briquettes?
Thank you for the review. I have never tried it before because of the price and I not sure if I can get it locally. I am not a huge Amazon fan. Keep up the good work!
Another great video. Thanks. Would you recommend a mild tasting charcoal, lump & briquettes? I'm looking for more meat flavor and less of the charcoal/wood. Thanks again
I use paper towels, and newspaper with a dab of oil all the time at home. Lights fine. If you mean when I took the picture late at night, I didn’t take a temp
You mean you put lighter fluid on the coals… then tried to light? I never use lighter fluid. A nice charcoal chimney and some news paper or paper towel is all you need.
Ha!!! That’s easy I use a Panasonic rechargeable set on #6. To be honest I’d normally wear the beard longer, but it’s too grey now. Thanks for watching!
Jealous devil has briquettes now they're supposed to be larger than all the others I wonder how a head to head with B&B charcoal briquettes would go. Jealous devil Maxx charcoal briquettes vs B&B charcoal briquettes
Hey when you get a chance put FOGO to the test as well. I like JD, I just think it takes some getting use too when you actually cook with it. Ribs in my PBC came out great, but I remember thinking that the chicken I made had this weird flavor to them and I think it was from the JD charcoal. Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad, they were just not what I was expecting I just had to get use to it. P.S. Did you happen to notice that B&B is coming out with a XL Premium Lump soon?
oil reaching the smoke point releases chemicals into the air bad for your health and on the grill where eating them on your food is also bad for your health.

Thanks for the video. Looking forward to a head to head comparison with B&B. I LOVE and only use B&B briqs and lump. But always willing to learn.
Spring Ram I may shoot that tomorrow if weather cooperates
this charcoal is a favorite of mine. drawback is hard to find here locally. have to drive about 40 minutes or order on amazon. Great review though!
I subscribed when you at 400. Glad to see you over a grand!

What is the million dollar stuff? It’s hard to tell which video your are responding too on the comments
@@FLYINGSMOKE don’t mean to sound rude but it’s about the charcoal this video is about the charcoal.
I figured out how to see which video. It was jealous devil.
I like ANY quebracho charcoal. Burns hit and clean!

@@jamoney45 you will love B&B. That's all I buy now
I view the “premium” charcoals as the stuff you use for more expensive cuts and roasts for preplanned holiday cooks.
This may be a dumb question but what causes all the popping in some brands of lump charcoal?
Any moisture will have an effect but that’s unavoidable in the south… I store mine in my garage but with 70% humidity it’s going to happen. Shouldn’t effect your cook

In your opinion what’s the best tasting lump? And briquettes?
For steak. I like BB hickory lump. And orange bag briquettes in BB too.
I also like Blues Hog, and jealous devil
For smoking I like the bb char logs. Because they burn Very clean, so whatever wood chips you add that’s the flavor.
I wonder if you could test out the PK Heavy Duty charcoal basket? Curious to know if two of them would be good to use for SCA events, or if it restricts airflow too much to get the GrillGrates hot enough.
I’ll look in to it.
@@FLYINGSMOKE Looking forward to it!
Have your ever put Fogo Charcoal H2H vs. B&B Lump? Fogo has Argentian Quebracho. I enjoy lump but I've experienced quite a bit of popping. Kinda of scary if your around dry brush.
That’s a great point! I have a bag of Fogo that I need to shoot.

I didn’t. It’s not bad charcoal. Very dense. Low ash too. And the bag it comes in is handy
im a beginner charcoal bbq'r. Should I give this a try? I own a 22" weber. Would this be useful for slow and smokey cooks?
There are TONS of things you can do with a Weber kettle. It takes some ingenious ideas as it’s not really made for low and slow but with some patience and gizmos you can make or buy it’s totally doable
How bout a head to head w/ mesquite lump charcoal to see which one is hotter lasts longer.

You can order it direct from JD, that's how I get it.
Tim McKusker good info
Another great video. Thanks. Would you recommend a mild tasting charcoal, lump & briquettes? I'm looking for more meat flavor and less of the charcoal/wood. Thanks again
Two questions. Have you ever lit without starter cubes? Second, at what temperature was it at 8 pm?
I use paper towels, and newspaper with a dab of oil all the time at home. Lights fine.
If you mean when I took the picture late at night, I didn’t take a temp
thank you , wait for more video like this
You should try Kiawe wood if you can some time add it to charcoal you might end up using it in competition
smoking razor Hawaiian wood?
FLYING SMOKE yes you can get here on the mainland about 12 pounds of it for under 50 bucks or at least you could a year ago it a sweet mesquite flavor
What am o doing wrong? Had a hard time starting with lighter fluid
You mean you put lighter fluid on the coals… then tried to light?
I never use lighter fluid. A nice charcoal chimney and some news paper or paper towel is all you need.
Lighter fluid can leave a bad taste on the food because it never totally burns off.
You know it is good when it’s Harry Soo charcoal of choice
He probably gets it free!
Harry Soo may, but I buy my charcoal at academy sports
Love the Mithril reference!
Donnie Skaggs I thought of that at second breakfast 🥞! Thanks for catching that
@@FLYINGSMOKE LOL. You sound like a Tolkien nerd, like me!
How about a review on the trimmer you use? That goatee/beard is trimmed up like a champ! lol

where can you get the jealous devil charcole
I got mine off the internet sir.
Jealous devil has briquettes now they're supposed to be larger than all the others I wonder how a head to head with B&B charcoal briquettes would go. Jealous devil Maxx charcoal briquettes vs B&B charcoal briquettes
I’ll look for them
GrillHunx said hold my beer hahahaah
Can u review Kingsford Hardwood
I’ll look for it, and yes
Im getting the feeling that lump burns hot…

P.S. Did you happen to notice that B&B is coming out with a XL Premium Lump soon?
What brand are the chimneys please...
Unless I specify say I am doing a chimney review I use large standard weber chimneys from Walmart
Thanks for the Luv Brutha!!!
Mike Brinkman and thank you Uncle Pookie
$20 for a big bag of lump charcoal or $50 for a big bag of lump charcoal I guess it's your choice I think I'd rather spend 50 bucks on the the food
It’s hot
oil reaching the smoke point releases chemicals into the air bad for your health and on the grill where eating them on your food is also bad for your health.
Why no new content you get burnded out or smoked out!!! Lol
$50 a bag for charcoal,
