Looking for lump in all the wrong places: Chicago edition
Options

Posts: 533
I live on the Northside of Chicago and need a good place to buy lump. Everything around here has cowboy (Jewel, Dominicks, neighborhood mom and pops...), which I've been less than impressed with, and I don't really want to pay the markup for BGE brand. Do any of you Chicago area eggers know of a good supplier with a good brand? I don't mind heading out to the 'burbs, I can fold it into my semi-monthly excursion outside of Cook County to avoid Chicago's outrageously taxed $12 packs of smokes.

Berger Brothers on Cherry Ave at Division is your best choice. They are a wholesaler and sell 20 or 40# bags of Royal Oak Lump really cheap. It's a little hard to find, only open during the week and cash only but a great deal and much cheaper than you can find anywhere else. Hope this helps.

I'm heading up to Chicago next month, I can bring you some of our bags.
I'll be in Crystal Lake at the DeLorean dealer, then hit IKEA in Schaumberg on my way out of town.

Greenforest Patio & Fireplace on Belmont in Lakeview has Ozark Oak and Wicked Good. I stopped in today for the first time. They also carry the Dizzy Pig rubs, among others.If you like wine, check out Howard's wine shop next door -- great shop.__________________________
