    I used it often during Covid. It does fine and burns clean.

    Agree, it’s very good. Just a little expensive in my area.

    The obvious question is who makes it. We already know that Royal Oak makes many private label lump products…and at varying degrees of quality.

    I only use that stuff when I can find it in a squirt bottle.

    I know Bill Arnold died several years ago. Whether he sold the rights to the Blues Hog name first or his estate did whoever bought it has branched out product wise. The new owner probably farms out the production of the sauces, rubs and this charcoal to suppliers. Or perhaps sells licensing agreements to use the name.

    LOL - Welcome back to the fold, John. Did you have a nice vacation and manage to catch some rays on the outer banks?

    Yes and yes, Ron.  Managed to get some sun without the burn - always a challenge with my Irish skin.  Now I get to turn around this week and hit the road again for work!

  • @jdMyers I have used Blues Hog Lump for quite some time.  Very happy with it.  I prefer Carbon Del Sur when I can get it.  My son is a dealer and handles both.

    what else does he have to deal? any other BBQ related items?
  • @Tspud1 He is a Primo dealer and stocks many rubs, sauces, bbq supplies, pizza ovens and several of the most popular gassers, Blaze, Napoleon, Renaissance, LeGriddle, Traeger pellet grills and a host of others.  His specialities are custom outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas, landscaping, outdoor lighting, sprinkler systems, hardscaping and stone work.

  • @Tspud1 And I forgot outdoor furniture. Biggest seller is a Pollywood product made by the Amish.  I have 4 of the swivel rockers that I absolutely love.

    A forum friend turned me on to Blues Hog sauces and rubs years ago. I have been using them in bulk, and have yet to notice any difference. If they are farming out their sauces and rubs, whoever is doing it, is doing it very well.
