Royal Oak Lump sale at Home Depot

RO has declined in quality recently. I recall RO and Cowboy swapping quality. Is that still the case. Been using frontier lump.
 
RO does seem to burn pretty quick, but at that price I'm cool with it.
 
I do rotate back and forth between RO and Frontier, but since Sam's here quit carrying it I'm pretty much stuck with RO. Cowboy is still high here. I haven't had any issues lately with RO in the drums or Triton. Funny tho, my last bag of Frontier seemed to ash up more than I remember. I used it in the Triton to smoke/reverse sear a tri tip.

RO seems to be the same as ever to me.... rocks, concrete and all. Still better than Cowboy and Frontier IMHO.
 
My last couple bags of RO have had a very sweet smell on the smoke (my guess maple) more-so than what I remember from a couple years back. Works great for pork, but might like something a little more neutral for other proteins.

The useable lump to random bits of junk ratio in a bag is about the same.
