    Hadn't seen the ash can before. Looks kinda useful. Kinda pricey.
    I think I'd stroll thru Pet Smart and see if I could find  the right size pet food bowl for <$10 first and just dremel out part of the side first.
    Probably couldn't find one that really fits just right tho.

    I'll buy one, just because I hate scraping the ash out through the vent.

    I 100% agree when it comes to the mini. It would be nice to remove the lump with the KAB. I've been spoiled with the large and small egg with the basket.

    I can see why they don't. The tooling cost would be more than the demand I'd imagine with the mini.

    So this would put my scraping tool and shop vac out of business?  Not all bad, but no XL model available (yet).

    What purpose does this serve? Love my KAB's, but I see nothing to gain here

    What is the Rockwood price at everyones local ACE? My ACE had a 25% price increase at the first of the year. In December I was paying $24.99 at my local ACE, after the new year the price is now $29.99. If I use the 25% coupon the price is back to $24...

    Shelf sticker by Rockwood is marked $21.99 at my Westlake.  Blue’s Hogg is $25.99 bag.  And there is some Cowboy for cheap.

    Every store is different.....there's a suggested price, and there's what they charge.  There's one store that charges $34.95 (and they sell a ton of it since BGE is next to it for $39.95.)  But nothing changed in the system when it came to us or Ace Corp on Jan 1.  So, it's the store, not us or Ace Corporate.

    I can't disclose such delicate information. Let's just say, they're losing money...It's that ridiculous, but I believe it $26 on the floor

    That’s what happens when you live in the high rent district.
