Best natural wood lump charcoal?
First charcoal I got was the official BGE stuff, it was larger lumps, left a fine ash.
Then I went to my local and their stuff was more like chippings rather than lumps, I don't like it, tried a low n slow and twice I came out and the chipping small pieces choked the fire if u ask me.
Any recommendations?

Where are you at? I've heard St. Louis Charcoal is very good. Ozark Oak is good too.

Do those......Ozark Oak and Rockwood Lump add a flavor or are they pretty neutral?I am in MA. The problem is the shipping, I would need to order $100 to avail of free shipping. Is there any other options out there?The petfood store offers free shipping over $45 and those bags are much heavier at 35 lbs eachTiocfaidh!Support 26+6=1 United Ireland

Hi, I'm in Cambridge! I guess the other thing is I could just buy 2 months of charcoal at a time. I generally go through 2-3 bags a month!Tiocfaidh!Support 26+6=1 United Ireland

No experience with rock wood. I have to go with Wicked Good as my favorite so far...

All I know is my current local BBQ store sells lump that sucks, it's tiny little chippings and low and slow cooks is driving me nuts!hapster said:No experience with rock wood. I have to go with Wicked Good as my favorite so far...

Asking this group which lump is best is like asking.... (fill I'm the blank)______Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

I have to go with the diminutive Canuck. Maple Leaf is my favorite lump. It burns long and clean. Its also ready for food when you reach temp. It has minimal VOCs. I don't have anything, but good things to say about it other than its not available in the States. Little Steven pointed that out recently along with Cuban cigars. Smart a$$.Flint, Michigan

The other thing is don't judge a brand by one bag, Have had some RO that was excellent, others were terrible.Are you in Cambridge Mass? That's Wicked Good country.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

ROCKWOOD! you will not regret it.... if you don't appreciate it, try any other brand and you will quickly realize the difference.Beaufort, SC

I saw this thread and was going to pass-but the reason for the post is to inquire if WGWW has fixed their quality problem. I would appreciate any objective inputs. I have moved on but am wondering if they have reacted to a serious business issue. BTW-if you can get Rockwood, give it a go!
And I am envious of all of you up north that use Maple Leaf-the denial fuels the desire
