OT - GTA, ON Eggheads, Rockwood Charcoal bulk buy?

unoriginalusername

long story short turns out my one and only Rockwood experience was contraband. 

Looking to see if anyone else would be interested if we could get a pallet near the boarder and then bring home what we want. 

Anyone have an address that could be shipped to and interested in getting some Rockwood lump?

Update I found an ace store in buffalo on the dealer locator. Given Costco hasn’t had any coal since fall I need to make a reload run in the next week or two

I’m in Ottawa. Were I closer, I’d definitely be interested. Good initiative.

Just out of curiosity, what’s wrong with Maple Leaf?  It’s my favorite lump.  I haven’t had an occasion to go across to pick some up in a couple of years.  Has it changed?  Or perhaps it’s gotten too pricey?

Maple Leaf is indeed a solid lump. I stocked up a year or so back when it was on sale. For me, it’s either that or Basque’s. I think the OP was just looking to immerse himself in the Rockwood experience - potentially because folks around here equate it with the bee’s knees.

I'm guess that with the dollar exchange, duty and freight......it'll be $40 a bag.

I haven’t done this to purchase Rockwood yet but do order antique truck parts and get them delivered to a shipping depot in Port Huron just across the boarder from Sarnia. They charge $5 to receive the package. I to use Maple Leaf purchased at Lowes but wood like to try some Rockwood to compare.

I’ve burned through two dozen bags of basques and maple .... they are great but I’d like to switch it up and really liked it when I found a bag locally 

Buffalo is only an hour so I think I will call a few ace stores to confirm they have it in stock

I’m from Canada but spend some time in Florida during the winter.  I love rockwood!

I'm down for that as well. Live in Cambridge . Let me know!

Can you post where the store is please, I live in southern WNY and can't find it anywhere. I just made a similar request on another post. That looks like the Lewiston crossing, which is another 20 miles further than Buffalo.
