I was using Royal oak lump from home Depot on a charcoal review site they mentioned the made In the USA was pretty important to the quality of the charcoal I recently noticed they had a price drop but went back up to regular price... But no more made In USA label anyone know anything about this? Thanks

They used to have some manufacturing locations in South America as well as here. The bags were very clearly marked and the foreign product was not up to the quality of the domestic. Maybe they have done away with the foreign plants. IDK for sure.
