Not that hard to beat. Order fogo off amazon its probably my favorite lump even over ozark oak and rockwood. Right now its just over $1 a pound at $40 for 35 pounds but if you watch it and stock up when the price drops you can get a better lump at the same or lower price. I just ordered a couple bags a month or so ago at $29 for 35 pounds delivered.

AUCE said:I hear pros and cons about all the lumps...seems like hump lump is a good choice. He'll at .85 cents # with shipping it tough to beat.
Not bad. Where are you located? I'm in SE PA. I can get it for around .70/# picked up, 5 bags or more. I get it locally and usually get a 100#+ when I do.
I looked into a pallet a couple of years ago until I found another supplier nearby that always has it in stock.
I love the Humphrey lump. I am currently using a bag of Rockwood and am not seeing the hype except that it is very smoke neutral. I have not tried the Ozark Oak yet.

The nice thing about organizing a group buy is that the lump is handled by fewer people before it gets to you. This results in getting less broken up charcoal and holes in the bags.

Personally I'm a fan of the Ozark Oak, but since moving I haven't found a place to get it. If I could find it I'd buy it.
The new place I've been going does carry Humphreys and I like it. There are a lot of very large pieces including pieces of small limbs, but it lights well, burns clean (not a lot of popping and sparking), and seems to last fairly well. For an XL the very large pieces are not problem and probably help with airflow. I think the 20# bags I've been getting are about $17-18.
I've bought more than my share of BGE lump and it's great, but it's not worth the premium they extract. I've had to pay upwards of $40 per 20# bag when it's all I could readily get.
I bought one bag of Cowboy lump and thought it was garbage, I won't buy it again.
I'd say the Humphreys is well worth a try, but I would try it before buying half a pallet or more.

It's a good lump. My experience has been that it burns faster than other lump. It wasn't as dense as some. I liked it for grilling Temps not for low and slow. I went through 2 20lb bags very quickly.XL BGEJoe JRBaltimore, MD

I've gotten 20+ hours out of a load of Humphreys cooking at 250 degrees in my XL.
I also felt it got hotter than the RW I've been using lately.

If you have amazon prime get a 35lb bag of fogo. Its great for the XL since its mostly fist sized or bigger pieces.
