Biggest piece of lump you've seen?

This weekend I came across the biggest piece of lump I've had in a bag in my short egging career. I'm sure others have seen larger, what's the biggest you've encountered?

This is my record. It was almost 6 pounds IIRC. Came from a bag of Kamado Joe lump:
The Naked Whiz -
Best of the West, about the size of a football.
XXL #82 out of the first 100, XLGE X 2, LBGE (gave this one to daughter 1.0) , MBGE (now in the hands of iloveagoodyoke daughter 2.0) and lots of toys -
Was it mesquite? Seen some huge chunks of mesquite, think they were the whole trunk of the tree.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

In a bag of RO, I found one the size of a small football. Maybe like a Nurf football.Flint, Michigan

Thread Throwback; Bigger than a softball size lump found in the "old" 17.63# bag. Saving it for my next LnS.

I consistently find pieces like Whiz posted.

Issue with big chunks.......just like a big hunk of meat, they're not going to be evenly cooked (or carbonized) all the way through. I guess if you're in South America where you can slow burn whole logs and not have the EPA or DNR to deal with, it might be easier. But there's no way it's going to be 80%+ carbon all the way through without breaking apart. There's a reason the chunk is that big--there is wood fiber holding it together.

No pictures...last 40 pound bag of Auy Carbon I opened had about half a coffee can of "normal" sized stuff and had 4 chunks in it...
Really like Auy Carbon and Lazzari. Have went thru 14-15 40 pound bags...and have found 2 small rocks... -
So far this is the biggest piece I've come across -
