I picked up a bag once from Academy one time last year. IMO it wasn't any better or worse than Royal Oak. Not too bad, not too good. I too have recently switched to Rockwood.XL BGE, CGS AR & spider, 36" SS Blackstone, SMOBOT - Flower Mound, TX

I don't like the mesquite lump at all. I have used the oak and hickory. It's just ok in my opinion. I prefer RO if I'm going to use a cheaper lump.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

Recently had to buy a bag of that. Used it once and gave it away, smoked like crazy. It was supposedly oak.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

@Carolina Q -thanks for taking one for the team. I am no elitist in any stretch of the word and you are correct. I did try Cowboy several years ago along with Frontier. Both sucked then. Given other options I have not looked back and won't. In a commodity industry for me, you get one shot-hose it and I move on. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

My local Wal Mart has made the switch from RO to B&B as well. Have cooked with them all...but for me i stock up on RO/RW. Pick up a bag. If you hate it (like i did a bag of mesquite) use it for a clean burn when the time comes...Wetumpka, Alabama

I used a bag of hickory B&B from Academy. It was ok. Good for the price, I suppose. Bags of RO last a little longer, come up to temp a lil faster, and are a little cheaper...so I haven't bought anymore B&B.Located Middle GA
