Just bought an 18# bag of this from Restaurant Depot in Norcross for $8 and change. I've never used it but the reviews I've seen on here have all been positive.

    I have yet to try it myself. Share your thoughts once you put fire to it my friends

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    I've burned thru a bag.  Runs pretty good.  I know that @biggreencraig really likes this lump and is pretty using it exclusively.

    I thought it ran hot very well.  Was a little sparky at startup.  I'd use it again!

    I was not happy with it. It popped so much the ashes went asround my plate setter and got on my food. That was cooking at 350-400 indirect. I will probably grab another bag next time at RD to give it another chance.

    I have used it. I have 10 bags in storage. I like it. I like it a lot. I would rate it just slightly behind Rockwood in performance, but adding the price into the factor, it is hard to beat. I live in Louisville, there is no Rockwood available locally. I use CDS, almost exclusively. Good heat, long burns, quick out of smoke time/cook start times.

    Loved the price, but the taste was way too smokey. I will stick with Rockwood.

    I'm looking forward to trying this stuff.  I went to RD today, specifically to pick up a bag and they were out.

    Considering I can get 3 bags for what 1 bag of RW costs, hell yeah. It is superior to Royal Oak.
