Has anyone else heard that Ozark Oak is going out of business?

It's the only lump I have ever used since I got my egg. I suppose I need suggestions now. The only lump I could get in a pinch in this small town was Best Choice, a grocery store re-branding.

I'm sorry guys, I posted this without searching. Apparently there have been other threads on this topic.

Yes. Heard this recently at an egg cooking class.

And it has caused a shortage of other quality charcoals. I swung by firecraft last month (I live close by and just pick my goodies up) and Rockwood and Humphreys were back ordered. All they had for lump was the Good One. So that is what I have been using for the past month. It is pretty good stuff IMHO, but I would still prefer OO, Rockwood and maybe Humphreys which can be great but, again imho, is less consistent than OO and Rockwood. I think firecraft is now sourcing mapleleaf to fill the gap. Looking forward to trying that.Always seeking the high I experienced from my first true BBQ experience.

I ran out of OO about two months ago and have been using RO ever since. I went south a few miles today and picked up a bag of WGWW and Rockwood. I'm gonna give them a try and see if I have found a new favorite.

@bo_mull where'd you shop? Wouldn't mind trying some WG.

the way I understand it, they will not be putting it in their own Ozark Oak bags, the kiln will still be in business, just not as Ozark Oak.... now if we could just find out whose name they are selling under...Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Last I heard the new name of the lump is rather weird, but I think they said it will be called "Tiffany Paxton's Santa Claus Special". I know that is a weird name for lump, but I hear tell things there in Yellville, AR often get out of hand and property and "things" get traded around for just the sake "of favors". BUT - hey what do I know?

After seeing the motorcycle gangs on TV all last week, I keep thinking about BGE lump gangs. The Ozark Oak OGC (outlaw grilling club), The Rockwood's, The Royal Oaks......
There's turf wars, territorial concerns, and hard core loyalists....

I have to admit thinking about some peoples tendencies towards the protection of and single mindedness towards their lump it is not beyond the scope of possibility.

Try kamado joe lump if you can get it. Much better than big green egg lump.

Speaking of Kamado Joe lump, I picked up some at a special event at Costco. $30 for 2 22 pound bags. Will I be pleased? I ordinarily use Rockwood.
