jhl192 said:Both the Jakes Blend and Weekend Warrior are stamped "Product of Paraquay" and say Wicked Good Charcoal, Maine. This lump gets around for $14 a bag. Can you imagine cutting the trees in Maine, sending them to Paraquay to be turned into lump charcoal and then shipped back to the Northeast to be distributed around the country. They probably have the lump made in Paraquay to avoid environmental regulations.Joe - I'm a reformed gasser-holic aka 4Runner Columbia, SC Wonderful BGE Resource Site: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/ceramicfaq.htm and http://www.nibblemethis.com/ and http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/2006/02/recipes.html

4Runner said:No. The lump is made in S America and then shipped up to NY and then trucked to WG in Maine.
Actually, WG's distribution center is in Holyoke Mass. I wouldn't think they would ship it from SA to NY to ME to MA for distribution. ME is probably out of the picture except that's where the owners live. Could be wrong though.
Holyoke... Nice guys, BTW.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Clears customs in NY. IDK, just tracking shipments in the past they would clear, to WG and then to me. Might have left out the interim step.Joe - I'm a reformed gasser-holic aka 4Runner Columbia, SC Wonderful BGE Resource Site: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/ceramicfaq.htm and http://www.nibblemethis.com/ and http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/2006/02/recipes.html

An weekend warrior would be close to rockwood? Is it better than rockwood?
-
Not enough experience with both yet to comment. I doubt it's better than Rockwood. It sounds,smells and feels a lot the same. So far so good. Pizza on Friday. That should let me know for sure.XL BGE; Medium BGE; L BGE
