Naked Whiz said they got it to 887 i put it over 1000 degrees. I did call them and tell him we got some bigger chucks in there-almost too big for the big green egg and ONO will actually make it smaller pieces next time. The favor was really good mildly sweet in favor. BBQ Island and Ono is so confident in the Charocal, we will give out FREE ONO Charcoal,one per bag to the 1st 20 AZ BBQ Customers. Its worth a try please just report back on the Forum Site for feedback
