    Have not confirmed this yet, but Lowe's in Canada will have Nature's Own, message from Basques. 
    "Thanks for writing us. As it turns out we are now listed at Lowes. The only store they have is in New Wesminster, 1085 Tanaka Rd.  We started shipping last week so they should have it now. 
    Thanks"

    I noticed yesterday that the Lowes near us is selling Basques Sugar Maple lump for $15 for an 8kg bag.

    @foghorn...how is it?

    Haven't gotten to it yet. I didn't really need any lump when I bought it - and I've only been home for 1 day since Salado as I have had to travel for work to Dallas and Santa Barbara.
    I'll give a report after I get through a bag.

    $15 is a fair price, that's what they charged for the blue bag RO last year.  Some places in Toronto are now charging $16.99 for 9kg RO. btw, my local Costco increased its price from $11.99 to $12.69. Any chance we'll see you at TO or Niagara fest this year?

    I've used that limp,  and i tell you it's junk.  I love love Costco products but i see that stuff and i quickly walk to the next pallet.   

    It don't last, the pieces are small, and i swear i found some nails and hard wood flooring

    Gary,

    Have not made any fest plans this year.  Toronto may be a possibility.

    Have used about 1/2 a bag so far.  It (Stubbs Charcoal) is excellent.  Large pieces, very little dust, no rocks.  If my opinion changes when I get to the bottom of the bag I'll let you know, but at this rate even if there is some junk in the bottom I'm still going to think this is the best charcoal option I have seen to date in my local stores.
