Firecraft 2 bag vs. 3 bag order (RW)

in Off Topic
I heard a while ago Firecraft had a new 2 bag box.  In the interest of science I ordered 5 bags of Rockwood.  I got 1 two bag box and 1 three bag box.

Results:  They are the same box.  If you are far from firecraft or have hard delivery persons, I would order in groups of 3. The boxes are double thickness cardboard, but there is lots of extra space with only two bags.  They did throw in a token sheet of packing paper in the order with 2 bags, but it does not seem to be doing much.  The bags can flop around a lot.  Interesting enough, the 2 bag box had a lot less dust.

(Boxes delivered 4 days apart, but waited to unveil together)

Boxes:


Boxes opened:







2 bag box of lump:








3 bag box:

    I did!  I wanted to compare a 3 bag to a 2 bag box.  It was posted by another member that they had a new 2 bag box.  I wanted to see if the rumour was true.

    Well now we know to keep ordering 3 at a crack.  Thanks for doing the experiment.  


    I wonder what their thought process was with that paper though.

    3, or multiples of 3. So 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27. I could go on, but I'm not going to.

    Believe me, I tried.  With only 2 data points I would be forced to intetpolate to much.

    Epic video.  Saw Styx in concert.  Good, but not really memorable.

    So then...would a one bag box be dust free?

    I do!  More data.  Although, extrapolating, a box with no lump would be the best case scenario from a dust standpoint.

    Well, none of the boxes have any dust until you look into them.

    Video created flashbacks...   I dated a girl in college that loved Styxx - still have all the vinyl (purchased so she'd hang in my room).  Memory may be exaggerated, but the investment seemed to be worth it - at least the memory is!

    Figured it will make a good firestarter, or canvas for my art.  Still deciding.

    Since that lady is putting charcoal in her rubs, I don't see why wrapping meat in filthy paper would be an issue.

    Did the two bag box have proportionally less dust or even more significantly less dust?   In querying minds want to know but I truly don't care.  ;)

    60% of the 3 bag box interior was coated in dust.

    15% of the 2 bag box was coated in dust.

    Dust coating was not proportional to bag count.  I did not gather and weigh the dust.

    Excuse me guys......that's NOT "dust".  It's Rockwood Aura (TM).  It creates a multiple sensory experience when you open the box and feel the cloud of charcoal love.  Drink it in, it always goes down smooth.

    BTW, You're welcome! 
    Yea, smooth, just like backwoods moonshine is smooth ... you've got to stop nipping on it before you post.  Cheers ...

    In Washington, my dealer would order a pallet of Rockwood at a time for me ... the bulk price was an extra bonus.  The main thing was that the lump was "factory fresh" with no frustrated football players mishandling the lump ... yep, I would offload the pallet into a pickup, drive carefully home, and carry it one bag at a time into the basement storage area.  Always had minimal damage damage/dust.

    When I left Washington, there were two bags left, so I offered them to my neighbor.  When he picked them up, he literally tossed them into the back of his SUV ... about five feet from hand to deck.  Damn ...
