in just looking at that site it says: summer shade charcoal production plant of Royal Oak Enterprises. It doesn't sound like Royal oak itself was sold, but perhaps just one location and as I recall they have several plants!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

yeah...
they shuttered a plant a while back. sounds to me, like you, that they sold an asset, not the businessed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -

looks like that happened a few years backKent Madison MS -
Hopefully Kingford will produce some lump rather fuel with a lot of fillers.
I also wonder if this will cut production for the private label lump such as BGE, Kroger and others.
-
Kingsford did not buy out Royal Oak. Back in '99 Royal Oak sold a single production plant to Kingsford. Royal Oak still goes on. Per the Royal Oak website, they are a family-owned business.The Naked Whiz

I was told from another lump source that royal oak was buying out some other lump companies.
-
they might be able to claim "family owned" status even if the fam only retained a minority interest.
-
they sold property, not the business.ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante
