So doing a long cook on Saturday of pork butt. 3 6+ pound butts. I stopped at Publix yesterday and got a back of their lump charcoal after reading some good reviews on the Whiz and wasn't a lot of options in Franklin, TN. So question is, is 8.8 lbs enough to do this cook or should I grab some more? If anyone in the Franklin/Nashville has good lead on some really good lump, bring it on!

That should be more than enough, I think on my large if I fill up to the top of the fire ring it is about 5 lbs of lump.
Embers on Moores Lane just west of 65 carries wicked good and BGE lump in 20# bags. The Walmart on Malory lane should have 8.8# red bags of Royal Oak. The Harpeth True Value on Columbia Blvd carries BGE (21.95) and I think Cowboy (a little cheaper) in 20# bags. You can also have Ozark Oak shipped in for around $20 per bag including shipping.
What size egg do you have?

You can also buy Wicked Good on line at Ace hardware and they will ship for free to your nearest Ace. If you sign up for their rewards card, you will get 10 and 20 percent off coupons from time to time that brings the price down to $16 to $18 for 20 pound bags.
Todd Pittman from the Smokin FyrPit BBQ team brought down 200 pounds of Dragon Breath from Missouri a couple of months ago when he was in town visiting relatives. Awesome lump for high heat and lo and slow.

Really good. I found that Wicked Good lump had too many large pieces for my taste (sometimes too big is too big--yes I know you can break them apart into smaller pieces easy enough). RO, Publix, and Kroger all has good sized lump for me. I never had a bad bag in the 2 plus years I have used them.
I just can't justify spending $21.99-24.99 for a 40 pound bag of lump when it isn't that much of a difference for the price. This coming from someone who buys every little BBQ gadget, rub, and sauce I can.
Order Wicked Good and have it shipped for pickup at your local Ace Hardware.
