    I used the Jake's Blend for dinner tonight, it wasn't as hard to light as I heard it might be and it smelled much better than what I had used.

    Tomorrow I'll post up some pictures of Rockwood, I had ordered that off the internet before i found out I could get bags of WGJB 10 minutes from my house. And I'm only an hour and a half or so from the WG distribution facility so I'll probably get a few friends together for a road trip and get a pallet. 5 people could get 6 22 lb bags for $84 each. At $14 a bag it will be worth the trip, give us something to do while waiting for a pork butt to smoke ;)

    Almost forgot, I mentioned dinner so I need to post a pic

    I use B&P Charcoal most of the time.
    http://bandplumpcharcoal.com/
    The guy who sells it is local to Birmingham. The guy must have had at least 20 bulk sacks in his warehouse. Each bulk bag weighed around 1000 pounds.
    He re-bags this bulk charcoal into 20 pound bags that he sells to local stores.

    He told me he imports the charcoal from a south american country. At one time he was selling a lot of the 1000 pound bags to a metal foundry in south Alabama that they were using to make whatever metal they were forging.

    You can buy it from him for around $12. If you go to the local Green Egg places they have the same charcoal in a different bag label called Manor. They sell is for $18 a bag. Same Lump, the B&P guy just bags it with a different name so they can sell it for a premium.

    The good part of buying direct from him is he bagged it in his warehouse and it has had minimal handling to cause to break into small pieces.

    The B&P guy is really nice to deal with. He's a real BBQ guy. He always has some new brand of grill or smoker sitting in the warehouse. This is where I bought my Portable Kitchen (PK) grill a few years ago.

    If your in the area sometime look him up.
     

    Bought some recently and I hate it. I've only opened the first bag and it has mostly small pieces.
