I've had too many bags of Rockwood with this much and more small dusty particles. I'm open for suggestions for a better lump charcoal and I look forward to all your suggestions. Thank you!

It's not the brand of charcoal. It's the store where your purchasing it from. A worker is doing the Mexican hat dance on the bags of charcoal.Ewa Beach, Hawaii

I bought it at Firecraft.....buy five bags and get free shipping. I think I'll have to find a new supplier if I continue to use Rockwood. With all the pounds of lumps used by members of this forum we should be able to get a supplier of quality lumps and we all purchase direct. Is Ozark Oak still in business it use to be great stuff.Auburn, Alabama

I really didn't have that experience with Rockwood. In bag four of a six bag order.
I get huge pieces throughout the bag using El Diablo from Costco at 14.00 for 40lb bag, I just don't like mesquite for low and slows and just use it for grilling.

I have not shared your experience with Rockwood through Firecraft. I've ordered many times, and it comes all the way to phx. Possibly carrier issues?
El Diablo... I found the pieces to be huge. Not a fan of the flavor, and it it's very sparky.Phoenix -
I'm so glad my Rockwood turns out good every time. I'd hate to eat the many posts where I have bragged on my Rockwood.

Does that lump not burn just fine? I've had similar bags but no issue w Th it burning. Try Fogo brand. It too is top quality with large pieces.Snellville, GA

Bag it up and send it to me. I love that size lump for the small and mini. My large will actually work fine with it too.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

I would recommend Royal Oak. You are going to encounter a bad bag with expensive charcoal and cheap RO occasionally.
At least with the RO you don't have a lot of money tied up in the bad bag.

I don't order from Firecraft but you're supposed to buy in quantities of three due to they way they ship. So I hear...

There is nothing wrong with what you have in the photo. Nothing at all. That's not even close to dust.

Last I looked today is Sunday...(5 days til the proverbial...)
As above, it all burns.

Your definition of "small dusty particles" and mine differ greatly. If I had an entire bag with only that size I would not be thrilled, but as long as there are a few bigger pieces to throw on the bottom there should be no trouble using up what you're showing in the photo. Based on the many Naked Whiz reviews, that seems like a normal amount of that sized pieces from a typical bag of most lump charcoal they have reviewed. As others suggested, go with Royal Oak. You'll probably still be disappointed on occasion but at least you'll pay less for the bum bags.Stillwater, MN

Brother,, chill.... That lump is good to go. But if you decide to go another route. The path is the kamdo Joe lump imo.VA Beach

I had a bag of RO Lump that had even smaller pieces. Sent an email to them and was told it was not their problem. All their lump is (supposedly) screened. I did buy that bag from a different retailer but won't go back there again for lump.
Used some RO today after about 7-8 cooks with CharBroil Lump. There was a huge difference in smoke; took about 15 minutes for it to clear up. The CharBroil burns clean in just a couple of minutes. Bought 6 more boxes at Lowes on Saturday; after using a coupon it was under $7.50 per box. Either Lowes is making room for winter items or perhaps they are not going to stocking it at the stores.

Many folks on this forum are hypersensitive about lump size.
-
Too many other things to gripe about than that. I'll cook with that size anytime. LIGHT IT UP AND COOK!
