Anybody try the new blend of K for 2010? I swore off it last year since it chokes me out, but I had to give the new blend a shot. Well it only smelt like burning jock straps about 1/4th as bad as the stuff from 2009. Also it had very little smoke on start up. All else seemed the same. The flavor seemed to be a bit more mild and the ash seemed about 30% less. I’m going to try it on a brisket where I could taste the old version the most.
 
I haven't tried it yet...they removed 7% of the weight from all their products...now cutting the back side of the briquettes diagonally vs. straight across...I was wondering how it performs since KF said they promise no drop off due to the new weight. Thanks for weighing in (no pun intended).
 
the mesquite down here hasn't changed yet... just got to burn it down first.
