[lennyluminum]

where do you find this big lump charcoal that everyone talks about??

You can get it pretty much anywhere that sells bbq supplies or accessories.

Check out Lowes, Menards, Home Depot, Westlake, heck I've even picked it up at the grocery store in a pinch...keep an eye open for Royal Oak brand.

WalMart sells Royal Oak, $5.95 a bag.

What he^said. check the bag for origin of product. USA is the best followed by Brazil most of the other countries are crap. also stay away from cowboy brand

If you have a Gordon Food Service ( GFS) They carry a good lump.

wally world has royal oak for $6 a bag or if you are near a publix (your signature doesnt say where you are) they have store brand for $5 a bag and it seems to be pretty good

May I ask why to avoid cowboy brand? I ask because there is a great deal on it, and I was just about to pick some up.

 

[goobi99]

avoid cowboy and the other products made by that company because of whats in it. here is a link to a site that reviews charcoal

Check out the nakedwhiz site that goobi99 mentioned in the above post. it is of low quality. I tried a bag of their hickory chunks. also poor quality, punky wood some chunks were very bug and worm eaten. good thing i had a stash of hickory already. the bag was a gift from Bro inlaw for feeding him "Q" when ever he visits.

Around here (NY) you have to be careful with RO. A lot of it is from Paraquay which is mostly small pieces and doesn't burn as well.

A bag I just used from Walamart that was made in the USA also had a lot of small pieces and a lot of rocks although it burned well.
