FWIW, the wally world near my home is still selling the 17 pound RO bags for $10. I find that hard to beat, although price neutral I find Ozark Oak a better product. For those in central Texas, the Central Market lump is sold at most HEB stores and the price per pound is closer to RO than Ozark Oak.Transplanted from Austin, Texas to Medina, Ohio

Made by the same company but BGE bags are far better than RO. With that being said I can't buy it all the time at 25 a bag.Large BGE

Word on the street around me is that BGE lump is "choice" RO(bigger pieces?) similar to the commercial branded RO.

I bought Royal Oak on sale at Wal-Mart 17.6 lb bag for &10.00 a bag I bought all they had and as far as im concerned it works just as goo for less them 1/2 the price2 Large Eggs and a Mini 2 Pit Bulls and a Pork shoulder or butt nearby and 100% SICILIANLong Island N.Y.

I know that Wegmans and BGE are both RO products. I know that the BGE burned clear quicker than fresh Wgmans lump, but my BGE dealer also has it around $1.50/lb, Wegmans is 65 cents/lb. plus going to my dealer is an extra stop. So in my case, the choice is easy.henapple said:Is ro and BGE made by the same company? Idk, but Chevrolet makes corvette and chevette. Price per pound isn't the only factor. Taste and cooks per pound are important also.
What @henapple says is true, you have to factor in everything. All things being equal, I've forums that BGE is a bit better than straight RO or the Wegmans brand. But I don't think it is 3 times as good (price, plus extra stop when running errands).LBGE

of course you do. You are just a shill for Ozark OakThe Cen-Tex Smoker said:henapple said:I disagree and think you're stupid.
PBR-swilling, scarf wearing, ironic hipster shill. He even wears boots with 2-inch heels. I heard he shaved his chest to look better for the ladies while wearing v-necks on the beach. I bet he played that MILF some obscure dubstep tracks instead of taking pictures to show us; like a true gentleman would. Mirrored sunglasses? More like thick framed glasses without lenses. I bet he got his tongue pierced too to match his Prince Albert.

@Eggcelsior I bought 3 pallets of Humphrey in a group buy for $13.19/bag. Those were 20 pound bags. That averages out to about $.65/pound. That price included shipping. It ended up being cheaper than Royal Oak at Walmart. I've never used Wicked Good, but I've heard it is as good or comparable.Mark Annville, PA

I use it. I'm still only on my third bag (about to start my fourth), and I've been cooking more or less constantly since April. It seems expensive until I price it out as cook/bag, and then it seems reasonable. I'd branch out, but I've pretty much got an "if it ain't broke" attitude about it.[Northern] Virginia is for [meat] lovers.

I have an arbitrary rule that I don't pay more for lump per pound than I pay for the lowest sale price of Boston butt per pound. So anything $0.99 or more per pound for lump ain't gonna happen.

BGE lump is the only thing I have used for the last 5 years. Go through a bag a month. I could scramble around and experiment with others but to save a few bucks it just is not worth it.

I've used B&B but it has too much of the smaller pieces. So I bought a bag of BGE. $25 for a 20lb bag. I don't shop Wally world. No other retailer has RO down here that I have found. Lowe's has Cowboy but I hear it is full of chips also. I'll keep on looking.LBGE, Weber Grills, Silverback Pellet grill, PBC. No I don't have a grill issue.
