On mobile site and can't figure out how to search old threads. I came across Fogo today and was wondering how it is. $12.00 for 17 lbs.

And why does this bag look different than Naked Whiz review? Change the bag since 2013 review or is this some originated somewhere else? And yes, I made sure it is not briquettesColumbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

That's a good price. It's burns long. I'd definitely buy that.

Anytime you can find FOGO for less than $1/lb you should not leave it at the store.

BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe.
Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

So that is the same looking bag you guys have used? Why does it look different than the bags I have seen (all brown)?Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

I've never seen a bag of FOGO that color, but I would buy it anyway. It's a fantastic price for a really good brand of lump - it's not Ozark or Rockwood, but it's a solid contender.

I think that size uses a different bag. Here it is on Amazon (and note the price):

I ordered my first bag of FOGO from Amazon a short time ago. I was very impressed that it arrived in such good shape. I've used it for a few cooks and so far so good. For those of us that can't get Rockwood (affordably) it's a nice option. I don't think you're in that category but you still probably can't go wrong.

Nice, thanks guys.
@Dyal_SC this is at Rosewood market, just an FYI. They had 5 bags. I will go buy tomorrow let me know if you want some or I am getting it all.Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013 -
I have used it, and same exact bag here in Ca, some of the best lump I've used.

I have bought that bag a couple times. It may be the same lump company but seemed to be completly different. It wasn't as dense and the pieces weren't as big. It was still good and at that price would stock up.

FOGO packaging is all over the map - it might be where it is from?Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Pick that up! Fogo is my go to for long burns from here on out. The size of the chunks is amazing.Mike - (1)LBGE, HeaterMeter v4.2.4

My only thought on Fogo is that you need to be prepared for a lot of large pieces so you need a lump hammer type tool. I almost had no pieces smaller than baseballs and had to grab a hammer and break it down. I noticed that it took a bit longer to get hot, but once it got going it burned very long.

I've been trying to get a lump hammer tool, but they always seem to be out of stock.

Yep. A lot like NGA. I can endure the summer a helluva lot better that 20' of frickin snow!

I bought 350 lbs on Amazon when they had a sale, free shipping on Prime. I've been burning that off for some time. It does have some huge pieces but not much dust. The 35 lb bags are a bit unwieldy but were a good deal for me. Figo was my replacement for Wicked Good when it was in disrepute.

Really liked Fogo when I bought some last Thanksgiving. I liked it probably equally the same if not better than Rockwood. Low and slows were a dream with it and pieces were nice a big.
