i have used several bags of rockwood based on the reviews from this board....I really dig it, but with that said, I dont think that the BGE lump is worthy of the negative rap it receives either.....I like it as well.gettin lucky in kentucky! 2 XL eggs!

I'm not the lump specialist, but I just did a fourteen hour low and slow with half Royal Oak and half coconut lump. Still had some left when I added more to bring up to 300 for the baked beans. The pulled pork we did was fan-frickin'-tastic!

All lump charcoal is subject to breakage during transport. Even a bag that is filled with a good amount of large pieces can have nothing but small and medium pieces by the time you take it home. All it takes is one drop during the distribution process.
Can you imagine how the individual bags are thrown around at a BGE dealer? Probably have better luck if you find a full pallet of RO on the floor at Home Depot as the bags haven't been individually handled much if at all.Two Large Eggs, 6 gal Cajun Fryer, and a MiniMax in Charlotte, NC - My New Table

@Crimsontidegirl - If you go to an ace hardware, look for a boxed lump, 20 lbs, of a brand called Forrest Lumps. Its imported from the Balkans in eastern Europe. I've found it to be a great lump, on par with Rockwood; but Rockwood will still be my goto lump for when I cook for people other than my family!

I use BGE lump and I'm very happy with it. When I do a long burn I mix any of the old lump with the new, the old lump ignites quicker and burns a little faster.

Agree with @bwarner. There's small pieces and dust in the bottom of any bag of lump.In the middle of Georgia! Geaux Tigers!!!!! -
My last bag of RO was mainly full of broken pieces and lots of tiny chips and bits. In fact, there was quite a bit of just plain dust in the bag, so I was a little disappointed. But overall I like the way it burns, and unlike Cowboy there's very little in the way of debris/rocks/clay chunks in there.
I want to do a big buy but the math prohibits me from arranging one. Even with the occasional busted up chunks, $13 for 18# of RO is pretty good. Rockwood is $22 for 20#...I'm open to ideas though. I'll do a bulk buy in Cleve/Akron area if there's any interest and the price is on.

@theyolksonyou That is a good suggestion about the spatula. I usually stick the stem through a paper plate. I think your method sounds better. I will have to give it a try.
