Wondering if anyone had any info on this charcoal? Seems like a good price but I've never heard of it, comes in at 10kg too so I like that.

Does is say what the wood is and/or where it comes from? I would shake it, if it feels heavy and sounds dull, hard pass.Love you bro!

Ya I'll be buying a bad next time I go there, just scared to buy like 10 if it goes on sale.

I don't see the word "Lump" anywhere on that bag; was it lump or briquettes?___________

Could you return the ash itself just say you were unhappy with the performance?
Edit to add: any Costco customer service rep would be horrified that you found a nail or a rock in that bag!Large, Medium, MiniMax, 36" Blackstone

It felt like it was lump when I felt the bag. Lol you're right I could try some and return it and say I found a nail if I don't like the bag.

It's lump. I bought a bag. My experience is with Jealous Devil, Maple Leaf FSC, all the BGE varieties, and the Extra. I grill indirect and direct, I do not smoke or do long and low.
That said, the Extra lump is my least favourite. least easy to start, prone to smelly blue smoke and some of the pieces are too big for the fire bowl of my LBGE. I took a measure and some pieces were 11" long. The piece beside is only 6" but had more girth.

Well placed hammer takes care of the over sized pieces-not such luck with small bits.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.

And for what it's worth, I've noticed the velocity and swirliness of the smoke from the cheap lump is much less than the good lump.Love you bro!

I have a couple of bags and like it. There is the odd size big piece but not a lot of tiny pieces. I haven’t noticed any bad smoke, my go to is Rockwood in the USA but I can’t get it in Canada so this is a good sub.In the bush just East of Cambridge,Ontario

have you tried the Maple FSC that you can get in Canadian Tire?

There is some wonky lump at TSC on sale... I am thinking about getting a few bags, not sure why but I am a sucker for a discounted product.

Also the label was baffling, it mentions USA and sustainability yet it's a product of South America or something? Stay tuned.

I'd be interested in knowing if there is a lot of dust at the bottom of the bag- that's my pet peeve and why I am not longer tempted by Royal Oak- even when it is deeply discounted.Johns Is, SC

Last year some of us bought from BMR in Quebec, on sale for less than $19.99/8kg bag, $10 coupon for mailing list sign-up, free shipping to Ontario for minimum $75 purchase. BMR regular price is still 19.99 but haven't noticed any sale and free shipping lately.canuckland -
The labeling is not misleading at all! I bought 2 bags, my fil burns briquettes in his Weber so that will be a good home for them.South of Columbus, Ohio.

Weird….this Reddit post from over 3 months ago has the same picture as yours.Medium BGESomewhere in NC

Lol I took the pic from the internet, I took a pic myself but it was just the price and not the bag so I had to find one.

Right now I'm using maple leaf and cowboy, just wondering what my next one will be.

Not judging the Costco lump since I haven't tried it. Lesson learned for me... more by volume is good, by weight is 'maybe'. Many years ago I didn't know better and loaded up on some obscure brand lump that was significantly heavier than ML and RO, dirt cheap from a warehouse. Well, if you think Cowboy is bad, this was ten times worsecanuckland
