Today in my inbox I received an ace hardware 20% off all regular price items, valid only this Friday before 10am. From the description it appears it will work on charcoal. I was thinking about picking up several bags of the wicked good charcoal since they can ship those to ace locations. Any thoughts?

My bad I just read the small print, looks like you may be good.

My 2 cents (roughly 1.6 yen)
(We better get used to converting to some other currency soon)

Here is my take on this.
An 8.8 lb. bag of royal oak will pretty much fill my xl. This load will easily cook 24 hrs with coal left over.
It will take about 3/4 of the 22 lb. bag of WW to fill to the same level . It will burn longer , but not that much.
As well as I can tell 1 - 22Lb bag of WW might last a little longer than 2 - 8.8 lb. bags of RO.
If getting enough coal in your egg to last through a long cook is an issue the WW would have an edge , but this is not an issue with my XL.
WW produces less ash than RO , but again this is not an issue with my XL.
RO produces a more hearty hardwoods type smoke that I tend to like vs WW.
RO lights faster , comes to temperature quicker , and sparks much more when light with a map torch.
The biggest pieces of WW are way bigger than the biggest pieces of RO. Of the 2 bags of WW i've used there were 5-6 huge pieces , a small amount of medium pieces , and lots of small stuff. While I really liked the large pieces I disliked the amount of small pieces more than I liked the # of huge pieces. Just really not enough medium size stuff to my liking.
The WW bag is nice.
So while I think WW is good coal , and will continue using it for low and slows if I can buy it for $17 or less. For grilling , and high heat cooks as well as cooks 4hrs or less I prefer RO.
