BGE has good lump, but its super expensive. As others have stated Royal Oak at Walmart is a good deal, and publix greenwise lump is also made by RO too
-
Kroger is also private labeled by Royal Oak

GG can you post link again... it didnt work.
Also whats the differecne between the Kroger, BGE, and Publix RO lump... is it more than the packaging?? Any help is greatly appreciated! -
As far as I know, it's all the same, just packaged in private label bags. I've had bags of RO that were as good or better than bags of BGE and some folks have reported bags of BGE being not so hot. There's a lot of variability between lots, it seems, when it comes to lump charcoal.The Naked Whiz

I'm sure it all depends on the blend of trees used in each particular lot. I would be quite shocked (impressed even) if there was any level of quality control or consistency of the ratio of maple to oak to hickory in the kilns.
-
production, too, i'd think would affect it. biggest-cornflakes-at-the-toppa-the-box sorta thing.
as it moves thru the process, i'm guessing the lump size at the beginning versus the end of the bag-filling process is different. then of course how the stuff is shipped and handled. -

Yeah, I went to one of my BGE stores lately, and they stopped carrying BGE. They sell Royal Oak because it's the same stuff in a different bag for a cheaper price.
