First Rockwood lump experience

Posts: 1,737
I have been using royal oak lump for about 14 months or so. It is all I have ever used. After reading many posts on this forum about Rockwood, Ozark Oak, etc. I finally decided to try something else.
I bought a bag of Rockwood and used it on Sunday evening for a raised direct salmon cook. First, it did not spark nearly as much as RO. That was nice. Second - it did not emit any VOC smoke. Wow. That is a game changer for me. I previously let my RO burn for 45 min before putting any food on.
Bottom line - Rockwood lump is a winner in my book. I only wish I had found it sooner. By the way, I purchased at the Ace Hardware on Johnson Ferry in Marietta, GA.

I have been using my first bag of Rockwood from a group buy here in MD. It is a bag that is unbranded used for completion teams. I like it so far. It lights easily, burns hot, has no acrid and next to no ash. I have to admit it does spark like a SOB when lighting though. @stlcharcoal

Are you going to start supplying any Rockwood to the south side of Atlanta? Or, where is the closest I can find your Lump? Eager to try!Peachtree City, Ga Large BGE -

Not as many store, but talk with the manager of your local store in about a month......we're just finishing the "test run". They should be able to order it then.

I want to try it too. I think I saw on your website that the ACE in East Cobb has it? Hopefully the price works. Can we work a deal where the forum folks get a discount??stlcharcoal said:Kosko said:

@stlcharcoal - any chance you can get some of it out to retailers in California?Southern California

Hey @stlcharcoal, are there plans on supplying rockwood to the ACE on Watson in Crestwood, MO?St. Louis, MO

@flynnbob - group buys will lower the per bag cost, depending on how many pallets the group buys. There have been a couple of threads recently organizing them in different areas.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

awesome! I see you have some in griffin ! Will stop and buy some the next time I go to my parents house.Peachtree City, Ga Large BGE -
Moving to Rockwood lump alone has improved my cooks and taken away that 'charcoal' taste that my wife hates. It did not matter if I waited an hour after starting on RO and I still had issues with certain meats.I would say half of the Ace Hardware stores in metro Atl have it now. Best price I have found is Cartersville at $18.BruceL BGEKennesaw, GA

I used to be able to order wicked good online and they would ship free to closest ace store in Michigan
Hope you can do that soon with rockwood. Sounds just what I want

Yes and no.....That's a Westlake store, so they're corporate owned. Corp owned stores can only order from Ace--no outside products like the franchise stores carry. I'm only a vendor in Ace's SE region right now, so I can't sell to Westlake stores.Currently, the closest stores to Crestwood are Mateker's, Kenrick's, and Victorian Sales in Fenton.

Thanks for that, @Stlcharcoal. Actually, my "local" Ace is the other direction towards Cumming, GA. I'll have to remember to swing by when I'm in that neck of town. About 27 miles each way :-(Kosko said:stlcharcoal said:Cymbaline65 said:I wish my Ace Hardware sold it. Only Cowboy there...Your Ace has it now......enjoy!

I would love to try some new lump. Only RO or Frontier/Cowboy locally. Closest place to me is over 100 miles away. Any plans for a lower NY area dealer?

I just bought my first 2 backs of Rockwood at Ace on Howell Mill Rd, did a brisket Saturday and then burgers on Sunday. Still plenty left. I'll be buying Rockwood from here out

Got you covered there too.......Ace Hardware of Windermere (3835 Windermere Pkwy, Cumming, GA.)I just spoke with the manager there, he only has one bag left, but they have two pallets sitting in the Gainesville warehouse. Give Steve a call to grab that last bag or get the ETA on the next 2 pallets. 678-771-8075

This stuff seems to be hot right now. Would like to try a bag or two, but didn't see any Rockwood dealers in Oklahoma.- Proud owner of a Large BGE- Norman, OK

Nope, sorry. You can try Firecraft.com or OzarkSpa.com to for individual bags.Hoov said:This stuff seems to be hot right now. Would like to try a bag or two, but didn't see any Rockwood dealers in Oklahoma.

Dang @stlcharcoal.. Windemere is still a haul. My local Ace is in Cumming off of Browns Bridge. It will have to wait until I can make it out there..maybe in a few weeks...Thanks for checking and giving me the places check out.stlcharcoal said:Cymbaline65 said:Thanks for that, @Stlcharcoal.

I'm showing my [lack of] knowledge of the greater Atlanta area.
I brought it up on the map, and it looks like Windermere is your closest--then Marble Hill, then Gainesville. Call ahead of time to be safe.
