  • looks like it's made with the tears of children. Even the pictures are devoid of color there.

    I'll take some more pics with color...but....I just heard back from Amazon....the product was shipped from a "warehouse" that is not Amazon's...however....they apologized for the damage and are taking 50% off the cost of the item...so....even if the pieces are smaller I'm ok with it....I appreciate their quick response and offer....guess being a Prime member is worth it...

    thats a deal. I've bought bags of best of the west that looked like that in the past. They were a little banged up but mostly OK. Interested to hear how you like the lump. 

    I'm going to try the komodo komado extruded lump here shortly. The Whiz loved it and he's never steered me wrong. Thought I ad him on the best of the west but apparently I got the 5 only good bags they made that year. The rest were pretty rough......as he said they were. Dangit.

    here is their stuff:

    On a nice note. Even when we have been disappointed with over deadline shipping etc with Amazon they have made it right. We're Prime members and they have a great company with employs that provide good service and customer relations.

    Nice!!!...glad yours arrived in good shape....I think someone at the warehouse dropped the bag it broke and they wrapped it up and sent it....mine came in a box with filler on the sides....I won't hesitate again to order from Amazon....they stepped up and I'll take great customer service anyday in exchange for my loyalty as a customer

    I have had one come beat up but not like that. The pieces were still really big though.

    Thats great to hear...when I lifted the bag and open the plastic I kinda felt around to see if I could feel and large pieces...seem to be some....I'll know better once I open the bag....hoping there will be some in there....going to use the FOGO on an overnight cook to try it out....
