It depends on where you are. Here in Michigan, Walmart stops stocking lump after Labor Day. At least mine does.Flint, Michigan

Here in PA Wegmans has already stopped stocking lump (RO) rebranded. Good thing I have 240 pounds in the shed of Wegmans, WGWW and ForrestLump.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

It is all about marketing hype...one bag does not make a big test, but thanks!As for the hypothesis that BGE fuel is made by RO, I have heard it said, but I've never seen verification of it anywhere. (Of course if it's on the internet it MUST be true!)And while it is true that one bag, one cook, actually, does not make a definitive test, it does provide enough information for anecdotal reporting.

I don't think RRP was being snotty. If I was on my 53rd post, I might stop and pay attention to someone who has almost 11,000 posts. I'm sure that he might know something.
Unlike me. My 2,700 posts are mostly smarta$$ commentary.

I don't know RRP or any of his posts. I'm sure I could learn something (perhaps a lot) from him. I think he could learn one thing from me:"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

I would respect anyone with close to 11,000 posts. He has probably forgotten more grilling stuff then I will ever know. In addition, he is a great resource of Rutland gasgets. Getting back to your original post, yes, bge lump = ro lump, so you should not see much of a difference. If you have a Resturant Depot in your area, you can pick up 17.6 lbs of RO for $8.99.If it ain't a CAT, it's a dog!!! 2 LBGE's & BGE Backyard Chef Edition Cart

I got a nice private note from RRP who apologized. That showed class. It's all over now. Move along, nothing to see here.

I hope this helps: At the bottom of BGE bags it says something to the effect "Manufactured exclusively for BGE by Royal Oak"

No such labeling on the bag of BGE I bought last week.

Are you referring to the Lump in question or the cars? -
I had used the Wal-Mart RO charcoal but then I found stuff that looked like(was) fiberglass insulation in 2 separate bags. I don't think crap like that should be anywhere near a bagging facility, so I stopped using it and went on to find WGWW locally.

I have found rocks, nails, etc in all charcoal I have ever used, including WGWW. outta not like they run the lump through a magnet after it goes through the fire.NoDak1959 said:I had used the Wal-Mart RO charcoal but then I found stuff that looked like(was) fiberglass insulation in 2 separate bags.

It happens......you could quadruple the cost of a bag of charcoal if we had to verify every chunk of charcoal wasn't a char dust covered rock.
From our FAQ's:
Why did I find something in my bag that isn’t charcoal?
Sorry about that! We strive to remove all foreign matter during the bagging process, but sometimes pieces sneak by.
Why? Well, a lot can happen to a tree in its lifetime. People sometimes nail items to them, shoot at them, or run fencing around them. And because trees are constantly growing, objects lodged in trees can easily become encased, creating “knots.” Knots are undesirable in the lumber industry, so they’re often made into charcoal. Objects often remain grafted inside the charcoal chunks, which is why they’re only found once the charcoal becomes ash.
If you’ve found an object in your charcoal, please tell us! Some customers have found arrowheads, coins, and other fun “prizes.” If it’s anything of value, we’ll gladly take it off of your hands!

Gee, when they write it like that, it almost makes finding fiberglass sound like a cool adventure! /sarcasm"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

According to Nakid Whiz web site, BGE states on the bag it is made by RO. Also under Royal Oak he states RO also makes other brands including BGE. Again according to Nakid Whiz, there are three Royal Oaks - Argentine, Brazilian and unspecified.
The information may by out of date or incorrect, but it is from a usually reliable source.
Publix Greenwise, also rumored to be RO, is $5.99 for 8.8 pounds everyday.
