FOGO for Canadians

Hey fellow Canadians, what bombing around on the FOGO website I found a link to dickson bbq in Ontario which is selling the 35lb 17lb bag of FOGO at a launch promo price of $35 with two bag $10 shipping anywhere in Canada.

I used to get my FOGO from amazon, but its somewhere around $100 a bag now so if you like FOGO this would be a great option.  I am going to pick up two bags for sure.

EDIT: at $35 for 17lbs I might just stick with maple leaf which is a hell of a lot cheaper and excellent lump.

    I love Fogo but at $2 lb no thanks. I bought several bags from Amazon as well and have been watching religiously. Pellets were cheap there too at one time too. Now not so much.

    my first purchase of 35 lb FOGO from amazon was $30 and then the next purchase price I did went up to $50, it is now at $115.

    I won't pay $2 per lb but if it came below $1.40 or I would get a couple bags, they are nice to have for long cooks.

    I jumped on that deal a couple of months back and after shipping and taxes one bag came to around $50. It was nice for longer cooks but I am happy with my Canadian made Maple Leaf for about $20/bag (that I can by at Canadian Tire in town). 
    I will add that Dickson BBQ have been very good to me and they are awesome to deal with. Definatley my "go-to" for rubs, sauces and anything BGE related.

    Maple Leaf lump for me. Thanks for the heads up but I'm good with local Home Hardware.
