Blues Hog Charcoal

My inlaws are from St.louis and each time they come I ask them to bring me a bag of Rockwood since I cannot get it locally. They arrived today and my father-in-law said the store he normally buys it from does not carry it anymore since the price went up $2 a bag. The owner suggested the Blues Hog charcoal and said he thought it was better than Rockwood - anyone tried it? I will test it tomorrow.

Blues Hog sells a lot of sauce and some rubs as well. However, I doubt they are manufacturing charcoal. I would have to agree it is probably Royal Oak.
-
Test it against some Cowboy lump, this way it can't lose.
-
If it's Royal Oak it probably says so somewhere on the bag in pretty small writing.
Give it try and let us all know.___________________________________

I was in Lowe's a few days ago and they had lump in a box by the main entrance. Can't remember the brand but it was "center cut". Lol.

Just looked at the bag and does not say Royal Oak or anyone else but I did see great reminder warning not to use the charcoal inside of vehicles...

Found this on Blues Hog's website and this is about what I pay for Rockwood with tax and it is a 20 lb bag not 17.5.

Not sure where it is made but we all know where Rockwood is made and that that the wood used is more local to Missouri.
I will stick to Rockwood, works great for me and it is easily attainable for me.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo. -

What this store owner should've said to your FIL... "People will no longer buy RW from me since they figured out I'm jacking the price up to increase my profit margin because I'm a greedy whore". "Here try this mediocre crap in a bag that I'm pushing as better than RW".

It's a little too sweet for my taste but practically everyone is using it in competitions in some form, at least the ones winning. -

Oh, I have tried that and about every combination imaginable. I like the Tennessee Red. But then again, I'm from North Carolina.

Too much vinegar in the Tennessee Red for me. Only time I use it is as a baste when I know that vinegar will be cooked off.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.
