I took advantage of the Lowes sale a few months ago. This is good lump LOL

$6 per box? That's as close to robbery as it gets. I got enough to last a couple of years as well. The boxes make it easy to store.

to each his own, I disagree with the five ***** burn time rating.

I agree they are way off on their review. They gave it a 3 on lighting it's the fastest lighting lump I have ever found and like you said it burns faster than any other other lump I have found also. It's great lump in my opinion but not for the reasons they said.

Nakedwhiz doesn't even have a magic rating, seems like an incomplete review.

The guy has done some incredible things on his website, and he should be commended, but there are a couple of things I have seen there that I really do not agree with. Not that I am right or he is wrong, just opinion based on my experience. It is a great place to start for reference material, but as always, check it out, and think for yourself.

I purchased a dozen boxes of this for $11 each. I found that this lump works best when mixed with Rockwood or similar lump as the center cut is very mild on smoke flavor. For $11 a box it is a good deal. I wouldn't buy it for $22 a box as I don't think it compares to other quality lump at the same price.

Center cut - so it's branches?

Naked Wiz gave it 3 stars for 'Chips and Dust' and 'Lighting'. This is why I don't buy into their reviews. The same goes for their 5 star rating for 'Burn Time'.  Their reviews do not reflect my experience.

Very little 'Chips and Dust' to speak of. Lights very quickly and is smokeless. Great for short cooks, but 'Burn Time' is less since this lump is light and less BTU's can be loaded into the fire box.

You do realize that you buying a $1lb lump and mixing it with $1lb lump. What does this achieve? I can get CB for about $8 a box so I'm curious because I've got roughly 30 bags of RW that could use enhancing.

Picked up a few boxes today for $5 a box plus tax. The smaller size lump will work perfect in my Small Eggs and my Mini. At about $5.45 a box it was a no brainier . All the boxes were in perfect shape and still wrapped on the pallet. That's all I could fit in my Subaru.lol

Compared to the lump quanity some Eggers purchase, yes, a few...lol
I was restricked by my little Subaru Outback. I had a few other things already in the car. They had more. Ha Ha.
Thanks, could not pass up the deal. All the other stores in the area were $10.99.

I had the opportunity to buy almost a full skid at a Lowes at end of summer, decided to pass since the deal was not that great.

Still $10.99 a my Lowes. They still show 19 boxes in stock since November. If they would drop the price to $5 per box I'd go buy them all.

Go and negotiate with the manager. He/she may be willing to deal to get them off the floor.

All the other stores in area are $10.99. This store was smaller and needed the space. They were not even on the sales floor. I had stopped in several times looking for it. 
They had it in storage are in back wrapped on pallet. No wonder it was not selling.

Finally got around to starting to use these.  The ash is very fine and flies all over the place. Anyone else seeing this?

QDude

I have been through a few boxes of the stuff and don't think it is any better than other premium lumps.  I even found a broken plastic handle part in one box!  Center cut handle?

blasting

I thought it was pretty decent.  However, Rockwood is always great, and I'm not gonna stray from now on.  Eggs are really efficient - why bother with something less than the best?

StillH2OEgger

I have a box but will only use it for fast cooks. I still use Rockwood for 90 percent of my cooks, but the center cut does burn clean quickly.
