Agreed..but still pretty darn good for $13
It is. But I got tired of finding rocks, and pieces of tin and other metal in bags of it.
$12.99 for 15.44lbs of it at Home Depot.
$15.99 for 20lbs of B&B All Natural Oak Hardwood Lump at ACE Hardware..
I switched to B&B for the most part.
I also have some B&B Lump logs. These work out great and burn for a long time. Lot of ash with them though. If I use them, I'll typically place them on top of a bed of burning lump pieces.
Also have some Kamado Joe Big Block Lump Charcoal that I've gotten excellent results with as well.
It is made from Guayacan, Guayaibi, Quebracho Blanco woods as opposed to scrap.
Nice, big hunks of it, you don't get a lot of chips and dust, with it. Nor scrap metal and rocks with it like you can get with Royal Oak.
This is two pieces of it. My hands aren't small. This are typical pieces found in the bags I bought. The smaller pieces in the bottom of the bag, are still good sized. The small pieces in the last pic are the smallest pieces from the bottom portion of a used up bag. The big piece in the burning pic was one random piece taken from out of the top of a new bag.
At $25.00 for 20lbs, it's not as cheap as Royal Oak. But not as expensive as Jealous Devil, FOGO, and some of the other higher end lump charcoal.
