ROYAL OAK CLASSIC PRICE DROP AGAIN!

[Hawging It]

Hello all. I was just in my local Lowes knocking around and as always went over to the smoking/grilling section. They have just put the Royal Oak Classic, which is all I use now on clearance. $4.99 per bag. This summer it was pushing $8.00. 2 weeks ago it was $6.99. Had to get a cart full. I don't use much charcoal in the stick burner. About 1/2 chimney to get my wood going. I do use it in my Weber Kettle for offset smoking as well as grilling steaks, burgers and such. I am in Southeast Mississippi. Don't know if this is a regional thing or not but check it out.

ROYAL OAK CLASSIC

6 BAGS 92.4 POUNDS TOTAL

Great find! Thanks for posting. I'm probably good until the Spring, but nice to know you're watching. Like!

I checked Lowe’s online for my local store, $4.99/bag with 75 available in store. Thought it might save you a trip if you weren’t already heading there

Thanks, our store has 54 bags left. Clarence sale lasts until the end of December.

My old lady would set me on fire if I brought home another car load of charcoal!

Keep in mind this isn't really a deal breaker for me

That's funny. Really glad I switched this summer from Kingsford to The Royal Oak Classic. Just a better Charcoal in my opinion.

Any time! Our Lowes has a fairly good Smoking/Grilling department. I'm just not a Pellet Smoker sort of a guy but they have a TON of different Pellet smokers and a HUGE supply of different types of pellets. Pellet Heaven. HaHaHaHa!

Thanks Hawg.
Checked the local Lowes and they have the same price and a good stock.
I'm getting low and was worried about making it through the winter and spring.. Not as many people as me understand that grilling and smoking in a Minnesota winter is a welcome treat.

Popped in to the local Big Blue store and snagged up 5 bags. They were going quick! They even had a little charcoal chimney on sale so it ended up in the cart.. Thanks for the head's up!

All you got to do is bundle up warm and get after it! Glad they got plenty for you.

There is a thread that was posted a few months back comparing RO to Kingsford. The guy spent a lot of time on his research. That is when I switched. Do a search and you will find it.

Kingsford Briquettes vs. Royal Oak Ridge Briquettes: Burn Temperature, Time, and Ash Comparison

It's that time of year just before Memorial Day when "bulk" charcoal goes on and off sale, with deep discounts, up to 50%. July 4th will be the next opportunity, then Labor Day. After Labor Day you can often find "clearance" sales that are unbelievable as stores empty their summer stock to...
