Stores stopped caring royal oak

Not looking to start a charcoal brand debate. I like royal oak for the price and convenience. Has anyone else noticed stores switching to some off name royal oak that is more like cowboy? Home depot, menards and fleet farm all stopped carrying it at least by me in mn. Walmart is the only place I'm still finding it. Tried a bag of the stuff they have switched to and the wife didn't like it.

I believe this is the case for all ‘regular’ lump, I’m only seeing Cowboy coming out and that is going fast. Also noticed at Costco last week, all toilet paper were out, only one skid of paper towel.

I usually get Royal Oak from Walmart. None of the local stores here have it right now. But you can get it from walmart.com with free shipping as long as you spend more than $35. I just ordered 6 bags and it says they will be delivered Tuesday.

I use Kingsford Mesquite in my Weber. It’s nowhere to be found either. Thankfully I can still get Rockwood.Michiana, South of the border.

At Lowes now and they don't have a spot on shelf for RO, only Cowboy, which they are out of. Plenty of Kingsford and bags of pellets.

They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin -
I have a whole mix of lump right now. I have been trying everything except Cowboy. Rockwood is out. I have bought RW for about 7 years without another thought. This whole fiasco has been interesting. Everything burns different and I have had to pay attention more.
Might start keeping some of the cheaper brands on hand for certain cooks.. The wife even liked the hint of charcoal from Royal Oak. Almost like charcoal briquettes off a Weber. Reminds me of days before I could afford BGEs. A little dollar store hibachi on the sidewalk at my apartment. Something to be said for cheap grills, cheap, meat, cheap fuel, and cheap beer.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.

@Ozzie_Isaac cheap women??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.

I agree it all burns different and the set it and forget it from using the same charcoal for many years is not there. -
I have given up on my Ace getting Rockwood. They have been out of inventory for at least three months.I finally ordered from Rockwood direct. My supply is way too low for comfort.Morristown TN, LBGE and Mini-Max.

I’ve been getting Rockwood at Ace without interruption, just got 2 bags yesterday. Use a $10 coupon each time too, lucky I guess.Jacksonville FL

Years ago some here called me weird 'cauz I would freak out when my stash got down to 500 pounds. At that point I would run out screaming like a junkie needing a "fix" and buy more. As it stands now I am down to just 630 pounds - mostly Rockwood and Ozark Oak, but also RO as well. Glad I don't have to panic and might be able to weather this storm shortage!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

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

End of days! IEEEEE!
Probably there's a wood shortage because all the forests are on fire or something. And a pandemic. Givin that a disproportionate number of Americans (compared to the EU and Asia) believe it's a hoax, there is a lot of panic buying (like TP) and borderline prepper-ism.
Not that I'm saying anyone is doing that here...most of the lump hoardes are old hands at it.______________________________________________I love lamp.. -

I generally use RW and this for every other cook.
Been able to get RW at the local dealer but this Mesquite has been very difficult to acquire.XLBGE, LBGE, Charbroil Gas Grill, Weber Q2000, Old Weber Kettle, Rectec RT-B380, Yeti 65, Yeti Hopper 20, RTIC 20, RTIC 20 Soft Side - Too many drinkware vessels to mention.

Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting. The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president. -
Anyone ever get an answer why Rockwood is nonexistent?

I checked stock online for RO at Home Depot and it says limited quantities for every store near me. Went there and picked up three bags, and left the one that sounded like a rain stick when you turned it over and the one that was damaged and taped up. I'm now back up to 6 bags, so I feel more comfortable now. Thanks for the heads up.

In stock at my HD today

Plenty of RW in upstate South Carolina. They are limiting BGE brand to two bags...

My local Walmart didn’t have any for the first time. Gonna check out HD this week. Amazon has rock wood for $34.99 a 20lb bag. Does that seem about what it goes for?
