Royal Oak 1 day sale at home depot

500

Left the 10 bags in my car overnight. Now it smells like the morning after a campfire. Found a spot for all of them. Pulled out a bag of the "old" larger bag to show a comparison. Seems like the same size bag, just not as stuffed. Maybe the new bag is longer. They do stack easier that the overstuffed bags.

I have had plenty of bags of other brands of lump in my garage before... This is the first time that I've actually noticed the campfire smell that is coming from the 3 bags of RO... I hope that isn't an indication of how bad it'll be to burn the bad stuff off

I cooked with a new bag last night.  It was no different than any other RO that I have used.

I've been mixing 50% RW & 50% RO, for me gets me just right smoke and flavor.

I do something very similar- I'll load with RWin the egg, and the use RO (Wegmans brand) in a chimney starter on the gas grill side burner.  Then dump in the lit coals to start the full egg going.

The last time I got RO from the HD sale it took about two weeks for the bags to off-gas to the point where I didn't feel the need to use a respirator in the garage. By the time I got around to using the lump it burned like normal.

I got 6 bags, I have 9 mixed bags, that should keep me going for a while

I've been really pleased with the RO I started using this spring. Big pieces, minimal fines, and it burns clean.

Thanks for the info. Ordered 7 bags yesterday and picked them up today. Should last me a while

Picked up my 10 today.

No sale price here.  I did pick up one bag at $12.88 just because I've never used RO before.

Never used RO, so I just picked up 4 to see how I like it.

I went out and was hobbling around  Menards and the green bags of Royal Oak 8.8 lbs for 4.99.  Didn't get any because wife would have been embarrassed when I grabbed 20 bags...

$8 for 15 pounds? I just paid $12.97 for 40 pounds of Lazzari...
