JMO, but I think the more the bag is handled, as in shipping, the more small pieces and more dust will be found.Eggo in N. MS

My Wally World only has the orange bags Central Kentucky, 8.8 lbs was $6.78 yesterday.

Orange bag. I like RO and Best of the West.
That was 20 bags, and we are about 2/3 through it in 30 days.
XXL #82 out of the first 100, XLGE X 2, LBGE (gave this one to daughter 1.0) , MBGE (now in the hands of iloveagoodyoke daughter 2.0) and lots of toys -
I figured you were talking about the orange bag which I have never seen in Canada. I know the blue bag had tongue and groove boards and all kinds of scrap in it from using it on my weber kettle at the cottage.

I'm using the blue bags too, I haven't found the red bags either. The pieces arnt very big so, if need hot cook I have to be careful placing them in the egg. I use Natures grilling 100 percent hardwood charcoal from canadian tire too but it's pricy. -
the tongue and groove stuff is perfectly fine. it is not demolition debris. it's culled stuff that doesn't meet finish requirement (knots, checks, etc.).
it's never been finished, never been used. perfectly safe
ten seconds before it was in the shape of a T&G board, it was a tree.

Around here (central lower Michigan) Menards is selling US-made RO in 8.8 lb green bags for under $6 on sale. The first bag I opened was great, lots of big pieces and little dust, pretty much indistinguishable from the BGE-branded RO. The second bag had mostly smaller pieces around 2" in size and many smaller, still usable but definitely not as good. I don't think it was different handling since they came from the same stack at Menards, hard to say for sure but I think it's more a matter of how they happen to get filled in the first place. Maybe the BGE-branded stuff has less variability but for about half the price I'm happy to use the RO and save out the big chunks for longer cooks.

I mainly use Ozark Oak and I'm so far very happy with it but I haven't tried them all then again it can vary batch to batch, I would like to know which brands are prefered over OO and your personal input as to why.

Same here, USA made RO from Menards for under $6.00 for 8.8 lbs. I've used about 25 bags now and can't say I've found anything odd in the bag or small pieces.

I bought the RO @ Menards for $4.88 a bag in MI. I took home 20 of them, hopefully it will last a few months.
