Am I missing something?  I wonder if I should buy the

Royal Oak Hardwood Lump

Pure, 100% all natural charcoal that burns hot for that great seared-in wood smoke flavor.


Or the 

Star Grill Lump Charcoal

Pure, 100% all natural charcoal that burns hot for that great seared-in wood smoke flavor.


Screw it, Rockwood it is.  


Happy Friday, drink lots and make bad decisions.

    I would be interested to see if it says where the star stuff is bagged. Strange they came out with a new lump after they bought ozark oak.

    That's why I went to their site, and now you know my disappointment.  I will say, I bought a small bge about 2 months ago and it came with a bag of bge. Told my neighbor that it's dam good, then I saw Ron's post.  I'd swear its OO, but I checked the bag yesterday and there are no distinctive markings other than "made in the USA". I have cooked on it about 10 times, and have refilled it once.  I love that little bastard (Own an xl and a L).

    Huh??? I never said anything about a blue bag of OO. If you want me to I can find my picture of a blue bag of Royal Oak. That was the first and only bag that I have bought that had both English and French language. My dealer said it was a pallet unloaded in error to him from a shipment that was headed to Canada.

    Sort of a joke, but hit the link at the top of my original post. Never seen that bag before.

    I have been having issues trying to get PhotoBucket to respond tonight, but if you want - I promise when I can - I will locate that blue bag photo and post it.
