I guess i must just be lucky. $13 always in stock at home Depot less than 5 miles away. Made in USA. I briefly considered trying these fancy bags everyone talks about but if it ain't broke.

    Don't ever buy a bag of Rockwood. You'll never be able to quit. 

    I was like you once, perfectly content with Royal Oak. Then one day I bought a bag of Rockwood and it ruined my life. I had to buy pallets. Take a second mortgage out on my home. Drink cheaper bourbon. All to get that Rockwood clean burn.

    I do not like the flavor BGE lump, or rockwood lump leaves on the food. Clean burning lump for me.
    Rockwood.
    I got no problem with inexpensive bourbon, and no problem buying skids.
    I do get the shakes when I am down to my last 5-10 bags though.

    Keep eating campfire food if you like.  I guess I'm one of the many that doesn't know how to burn a fire clean.   I'm a Rockwood guy in n out.

    Yeah shame on me, BGE, Flameboss, and every other company that strive to do something better, when an adequate product already exists.

    Just got a Rockwood shipment from firecraft today. I spent over $1,000 to buy the egg, I'm willing to spend a few extra bucks for quality charcoal. To each his own.

    Just as long as you aren't using Cowboy. Using Cowboy with a $1000.00 Green Egg is like filling up a Porsche with cheap rotgut moonshine.

    I just ordered some Jealous Devil on Amazon, it's 35 lbs. for $44. I'm still new and it rated well on the naked wiz, thought what the hell.

    @MrA46221 - nice move.  Always good to give something new (that hasn't been really trashed here) a go.  It all burns.  Hope it works out well.

    Use Rockwood and KJ for long cooks but tried Fogo and it's hard and huge chunks I like it but it pricy.

    It's a lack of sleep thing.  Trust @YukonRon with the virtues of Rockwood to his last bit of dust.  ;)

    My 100 proof Evan Williams has a nice long burn for $14.99! So maybe the weekend has started early.

    I have yet to try Rockwood, because the stupid Prop 65 rules in the nanny state of California make it difficult to do business here. I have been quite content with Fogo. Delivered to my door free, big chunks, burns well and lasts a long time. I know that Rockwood will someday be in this area, but with tax it will be almost the same price as Fogo. We shall see when that time comes. I am certainly open to see what the holy grail of charcoal can do for me!

    Coming soon......maybe another month?

    The shipping will most likely be "free", but like any "free shipping", you're still paying for it no matter how we spin it.

    @Yno - Spare the Air Day guidelines will expand to where you can only BBQ every other Thursday between 1:12AM and 2:37AM. Your neighbors will be watching you.  :o
