Is it in a case? And does it come with WiFi etc?

Sounds an interesting alternative ..

Looking good

What brand do you use?

Ok maybe I should reconsider and order some heat beads or weber long lsating then?

Every post I read seems to contradict the last. In one post i'll read that restaurant lump is the best, then i'll read in another that normal lump is best then in another that briquettes are better. Really confusing ...

I need to buy some more fuel as i'm down to my last bag of restaurant lump wood from bar-be-quick which has been good for grilling. I am now moving into smoking as well as grilling on my weber one touch.

Is there any noticable difference in quality between the bar-be-quick and BigK (ach-15 ...
