Ammonia Smell on Lump?
I got a strong smell of ammonia right after I poured on a second
batch of lump. The smell dissipated after 5-6 minutes. There wasn't any meat on the fire yet, so I figure it will be OK. Is ammonia a byproduct of wood distillation or did a cow **** on my lump? -sw

I've noticed very weak smells of ammonia with burning wood before though (whiffs really). IIRC ammonia can happen with wood+water+fire. But that could be faulty memory.

I typically manage my fire by adding additional unlit lump on the existing fire while the cook is underway. I've never encountered that situation. -- Brick(Youth is wasted on young people)

I start a half-size fire and then add some more just before I put the meat on. I just added more lump and I didn't get that smell this time, but now I have real wood smoking away in there. -sw

This wasn't a urine-ammonia smell, this was an ammonia-ammonia smell. I smelled it again when I went to stir the lump before using it to grill, but neither the smoked pork butt or the grilled chicken tasted any different. -sw
