If you have used either lump can I get a thumbs up or thumbs down on either Humphrey's or Rockwood lump sold by Firecraft?

They both get good reviews (Rockwood #1), why not get one of each?
Take a look at: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lumprankpoll.htm
and http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lump.htm -
Thumbs up on Rockwood. Lots of threads here with lots of opinions. Rockwood uniformly gets good reviews.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

Never used Rockwood, but I've burned a few bags of Humphrey's and really liked it...then it disappeared locally.
-
Rockwood has been very consistent thru the years for me. Always very neutral smoke so you can use your smoking by woods to meet your flavor profile.

Give both a try and see what you think. I tried a couple bags of Humphrey a couple years ago and it was the same as Royal Oak/BGE lump. Didn't really care for it. Others here have given it good reviews so maybe I just got a couple of bags that weren't very good. Rockwood is my favorite.LBGE (still waitin' for my free T-Shirt), DIgiQ DX2 (In Blue, cause it's the fastest), Heavy Duty Kick Ash Basket, Mc Farland, WI.
If it wasn't for my BGE I'd have no use for my backyard... -
Just received my 2nd shipment of 6 bags of Rockwood. Good stuff! Never heard of Humphrey's..Southlake, TX and Cowhouse Creek - King, TX. 2 Large, 1 Small and a lot of Eggcessories.

Which ever one you can buy local, shipping can play hell on charcoal.
-
Dealer no longer gets Kamado Joe or Wicked Good which I love. All they have is BGE lump. I can get RO at HD, but I won't start that argument again. I have 4 friends with BGE's or Kamado Joe. Was thinking of all of us ordering together.

I like the Humphreys. It is stocked locally and I can get it for $14/bag.
I also had Rockwood. I think it is a little more neutral than Humphreys but not much.SE PA

I have been pleased with Rockwood. Burns well and the bags I have purchased seem to have more larger pieces than BGE charcoal. I have done several 15 hours plus low and slow cooking with no disappointment.

Check out the following link:
http://www.firecraft.com/category/hardwood-charcoal You can buy several of each and go from there. BTW-Basque's Sugar Maple is top notch as well. Anyhow, buy in increments of 3 bags-as it ships (free after $99) 3 bags to a box and firecraft has made major improvements in the boxes. No worries with the handling. FWIW-
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
Living close to Brockville, Humphrey's corporate home, I can get a 40 lb bag of lump for $22.95. I use it almost exclusively."Never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you up with experience!"

@pescadorzih, where can you find Humphrey's for that price? I would stock up for that price.Always seeking the high I experienced from my first true BBQ experience.
