I may pick me up some, but I'm still holding out for the big Memorial Day sale that usually hits. Thanks for passing the info along.

Yeah, I agree with Bruno. Don't go to crazy because Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor day, the price will drop to something like 5.99 for a double bag.
Our Costco finally got the double bags of Kingsford Competition in (one Pallet) $17.98 for the 38#'s. I've never seen the price below $13.99 here in Central Oregon for Kingsford blue double bags.

Thanks for the tip! Even though it's not the greatest price, it doesn't hurt to have a little "insurance" rather than having to pay full price before the big savings hit.

I'm down to my last bag of charcoal. I'm going to pick up 2 or 3 sets of those 20lbs. I do a lot of smoking. That should hold me over until Memorial Day. I just can't go back to that dang Masterbuilt. Once you've had WSM, you'll never go back!
Sorry to go off topic but I am in the process of modding a brinkmann ecb. What is the differance in the kingsford and lump charcoal.

C farmer: I'm no expert, but I've heard that lump charcoal burns hotter and faster, so it might not be good if you're trying to keep low temps for a long time. I've aslo heard that Kingsford tends to burn more uniformly (especially better when using the Minion method).
But, be forewarned: I pass a Home Depot on my way home from work, so I stopped there today, and bought the two-pack for $12.88. Didn't notice the huge tear on one side that was covered very poorly with packing tape until I got home and found a mess in my trunk!
Figures. A whole pallet full of charcoal, and I happened to pick up the damaged one! I've had that sort of thing happen before, so I should have known better.

I think Lowes had it for something like $7.94 or $8.94 for the twin pack of 20# bags last year.
Lump is real wood, no chemicals or additives and you are correct, it does burn hotter, as far as faster, I haven't burned enough of it to answer that one. I like the charcoal taste that briquettes give off to an extent, but at times it can be overbearing, with lump, you won't get that since it's real wood.
