    No sir. I haven't.
    The @Biggreenpharmacist‌ gave me some OO and it was excellent.
    @Thatgrimguy‌ gave me the RW. Going to try it tomorrow for the first time. I hear that it is excellent as well.
    I had only used RO pretty much up until last week.imageimage

    I have never used Ozark Oak.

    I was using BGE, but I switched to Rockwood. I love it, but I think I am going to try a bag of OO. Please let me know what you think about them since you are new to both OO and Rockwood.

    I'd like to try Rockwood but @henapple told me he would relinquish his parental privileges if it ever touched me egg.  You're the best dad, please don't   b-(

    The OO has a very clean smell right out the gate. Burns hot and produces very little ash compared to RO. It's far cleaner for sure than RO.

    @SGH That is exactly the way I describe Rockwood compared to the BGE lump. I am looking forward to hear what you think of RW.

    I just switched to Rockwood and love it, the OO was great as well and similar to Rockwood but more expensive.

    Does the RW have the good clean smell that OO has?

    Yeah, it's smell neutral. If you don't add smoke, it's like cooking in an oven.

    @SGH went by the Butcher Block in Wiggins. Great place! Picked up 10 HUGE pork chops and some chicken breasts! Thanks for the recommendation.
