COAL TEST - Royal Oak - Startup / Longevity
4 hours, 52 minutes
I weighed out two pounds of Royal Oak with fairly consistently sized pieces into the small Kick Ash Basket. I loaded that into the Kamado Joe Classic 3 and used the propane torch for exactly 45 seconds to light the coal. I installed the heat deflectors and grill grates in the grill. I set the Kontrol Tower top vent to the first mark. I powered up the FireBoard 2 Drive and set it to run at 300°F with the fan max set at 20%.
Time to temp on this test: 31 minutes (1:08pm to 1:39pm)
Time at temp on this test: 4 hours and 15 minutes (1:39pm to 5:54pm)
Time at temp was measured from the time the grill hit 300°F until it fell to 280°F with the fan running.
I paid $9.87/15lbs at Walmart - $0.64/lb
