    Thanks, I can't wait to try your product, it is rated very high among the majority of Eggheads here. Thanks for providing the SKU# I needed.

    Look how nice and clean the bag looks, no rough handling during shipping sometimes that is hard to say about RO and Wal-Mart

    On my 3rd bag of RW and love it.   If you like the smokey flavor from the charcoal it is milder than most, but allows you to put what ever smoke you want on the food.  I must admit I only have experience with BGE and FOGO lump, but so far RW is clean burning, little ash, seems to last on long cooks, no complaints!

    The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten!
    Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing!

    That's what I paid for 2 bags yesterday. Sounded like a lot, but at least I didn't pay more than you!

    On my 3rd bag of RW.  Not very many big pieces in mine like I heard about.  Was a little disappointed. It does heat up very well and cook great also but was looking for bigger chunks.  May need to buy from a different place.  The Ace I bought them from May be a little rough with them.

    Wicked good if you want the big chunks. My OO was great no real big chunks, I have 2 bags of Rock on deck.

    I recently got my first two bags of Rockwood. Purchased from Ace. The first bag surprised me because it had no large pieces in it. I had always heard people comment that Rockwood was better on large pieces than Royal Oak. However, the Royal Oak I had been using had a lot more large pieces than the Rockwood.  Story changed dramatically with the second bag. Lots of larger pieces. I can only surmise that someone dropped the first bag off the back of the truck onto the store's parking lot.  Lesson learned - handling during transit and delivery makes a big difference.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    I wanted to try the Rockwood tonight but I'm doing Red Snapper and I have Bayou Classic left in the egg (I bought a couple bags of this in Tx last year) and I don't want to waste the used lump or the Rockwood!

    So what do your neighbors think of you staging artistic shots with a bag of charcoal?   I can hear it now...

    "From now on keep the doors locked Mavis, I think piney has snapped.  He's moving a bag of something around his hard and taking pictures of it.  Do you think he's dangerous?"
