I went into the local BJ's looking for Lump Charcoal. I purchased a 34 lb bag of Frontier "Made in the USA" for $19.99. The cheapest lump I have been able to find. It is rated very well on The NakedWhiz's site. Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

    got a bag myself very sparky and really a bad smell till its ready, at high temps it burns up fast . my understanding is the better frontier is the USA brand i believe what BJ's has is made in argentina . i like RO during the week or wegmens and WG for lo and slow so glad i only got one bag of the frontier

    This bag has the made in USA statement on the bag. Since it was the made in the USA one I figured I would try it. I will post how it is.

    I@bigphil. I got the number. Hanks. I will be checking it out this week. I was pleased with this first bag. Large pieces and it lit well and is burning well and very little sparking. I will definitely buy another bag.
