My new favorite charcoal is Wicked Good Charcoal. This is the best stuff I have ever used. Its a bit over a dollar a pound here in NC, but worth it! http://www.wickedgoodcharcoal.com/
Yes, it is rebranded Royal Oak briquettes. I have used it, but only pay $4 for a 8.8 lb bag in Maine. Any charcoal that touts the "ridge" is a Royal Oak product.
