Wicked Good Charcoal

highpress

I found a dealer near me that carries WGC. Never tried it before, would like to.... Does $21 for 22# bag seem like a decent price?

Ripnem

It sells for 26 bucks at my dealer.

Ask for a discount on ripped bags.

I pay very little for mine

Meat

$22 seems a bit high. You live near BWI, correct? I just got a 20# bag of Cowboy lump for $12.99 at Ace Hardware in the Lake Shore shopping center on Mountain Road. Not sure how Wicked compares to Cowboy, but I've had no problem with it.

Ripnem

That ain't "Wicked Good" though :laugh:

Not even in the same ballpark :ohmy:

Meat

Ripnem, does the benefit outweigh the cost? I'm cheap and typically shop based on price alone. The only two types of lump I have used are Royal Oak and Cowboy. Is it worth trying the Wicked?

highpress

Wow. Ok, guess 21 isn't so bad then. thanks.

highpress

Yes, i'm near BWI. Actually 5 mins from arundle mills mall. Where are you at?

I've been using cowboy for a month or so now. It's ok, but i think it gave me some problems on a low n slow. Ran out of charcoal. Other than that, no complaints. Cowboy isn't very dense, seems to burn quick. IMO. I still would use it, it's fairly cheap. I was paying i think $6 for an 8.8 lb bag. Didn't know ace carried 20#, thanks, will check them out.

Ripnem

Yes it is. The density alone will pay for itself in the long run. I'm a deal hound as well and that's why I get the tore-up bags at a huge discount. .50 per/lb

That's actually less than my dealer pays. We are buying from the same person. :P

Meat

I'm in Pasadena, but I work at BWI. Ace always has the Cowboy, most of the time for $12.99, but I've seen it there for $14.99 also. Must be some kind of semi-permanent sale. :huh:

Meat

Yeah, cheaper isn't always better. Highpress, where are you getting the WGC? I may have to try a bag.

fishlessman

your burn times with wicked will be more than twice the cowboy

Just called, they've got about 70 bags in stock, fyi.

Probably a decent retail price for WGC. I think the guys splitting palets on the forum are paying close to $16 for a 22# bag.

RVH

That $16.00 per bag is based on a pallet being delivered to a business address in Oklahoma. Destinations much nearer the shipping point will enjoy a lower cost per bag because of the lower freight costs.

Pdub

I ordered three bags at 22 lbs a piece and it was around 60 dollars. I am in southern Maryland.

I wish I could find WGC in San Diego -

highpress

Yeah, not ready for a pallet yet. We'll try a few bags first. See how that goes... I saw on the website it looks like WGC sells it for 13 or something a bag? shipping got to be expensive though...

WWSis

Seems high; I bought six 22lb bags at our local agway for 15.99 ea - regular retail price. I prefer WG over cowboy always.

highpress

That was from the WGC website?

2Fategghead

I prefer Royal Oak and I am talking Green Wise lump from Publix Food Stores over cowboy. I can't get WG here in Tennessee I don't think. Tim

A pallet shipping to an Atlanta business comes to $15.07 per bag.(22#)

Sundazes

Just north of Baltimore:

3-22-WWL Weekend Warrior LUMP (3) 22# Bags @ $13.50 ea. 1 $40.50 $40.50
Shipping: FedEx Home Delivery: $21.60
Sales Tax: $0.00
Total: $62.10

We should try a Baltimore area WG pallet buy. I would stock up at 16 or so a bag. I go through approx 3 bags of wg a month.

Crimsongator

And you local store has to stay in business and earn a living. They are making some money, but not a killing. That was my point.

Unknown

I live in the Philly area and would join in on the pallet and buy 5-6 bags, not sure how many are on a pallet.

I participated in the Oklahoma group buy which worked out very well, thanks RVH! (and a few others who helped organize it). I think it was 60, 22 pound bags to a pallet. When the group buy was organized the allotment was pre-sold within a week.

I'm in Newark, Delaware...and I have an Egg friend about 30 mins from here.
Sundazes and YankeeFan...we should talk.
