    All you folks down in Merica that speak so highly of Royal Oak must get way better charcoal than they send to us in Kanukistan because any of it that I have used is garbage. You can't give me a bag of that sh!t to use. It definitely smells like they are recycling railway ties for the Canadian market. The bags that you get are red or orange and what we get comes in a blue and red bag. (That's how they keep them separated). The red stuff we get is briquettes.

    1 large BGE, 2 small BGE, 3 Plate setters, 1 large cast iron grid, 1 pizza stone, 1 Stoker II Wifi, 1 BBQ Guru Digi-Q II, 1 Amaze N pellet smoker and 1 empty wallet.      Seaforth, On. Ca.

    The red stuff we get is good but nothing real great.  I have used it and will use it again, but, it's not my 1st choice either.  I will say the Red RO is great for my mini and mini max though. 
    Large, Medium, Mini, and Mini Max, a few too many accessories, 2 kids, 1 dog, and original wife.  Lover of winter, powdery snow, and lots of golf.

    works fine.  never had a bag bad.  what can i say.

    at least we finally managed to kill the idiotic legend that it was building demo scrap.  haven't heard that one in a few years.

    Ruined some steaks with Cowboy and gave up on it. Getting it to burn clean wasn't easy.  Used  the rest of the bag for couple of clean burns. Still have a 2 year old unopened bag that will be sold with the the house when I downsize.
