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.

Or…if that is you, you might want to burn your Reddit account to the ground. There are some tricksters on here who would love to know your Reddit handle lol. Don’t cross the streams!

Rockwood.

That is all.

Thank you.

is it worth travelling across the border for a bag or so of Rockwood? I can pretty much see the states from where I live. Rockwood has no penetration into the Canadian market which is understandable what with the labelling/duty requirements along with building a whole new supply chain up here..

Kicked the tires today. Too dense for my liking.

I would give it a go.  That said, given you have access to Maple Leaf and Basques then it is not the jump compared to those.  But "window open, window shut" worth the experiment.  
I do get a couple of bags of Basques every year from a distributor in New York State just to enjoy. Cannot find Maple Leaf anywhere in the Lower 48.

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

Right product but crappy tire price is still too high at $26.99 (was $29.99 last year IIRC).
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.

I took advantage of that one, thanks to @Canugghead. Let’s please alert one another if that deal pops up again!

Bump to personally thank a forum member who shall remain anonymous for gifting me a bag of Maple Leaf.  Talk about generosity.  I am beyond appreciative.  That charcoal cannot be found in the lower 48.  What a gesture.  
I recently took my around annual delivery of the Basques maple charcoal so I will attempt (to the extent you can) a side by side with the same cut of protein (not a brisket).  I am confident that I will be challenged to discern any noticeable difference but it will be a fun endeavor.
Thank you again.
