Epilogue: Ozark Oak

Some of you know I have been trying to find out who took over Ozark Oak down there in Yellville, AR, but with no success. Today I finally just emailed the local Chamber of Commerce. Here in part was the reply:
Hi Ron,
Hi Ron,
I can help you out! Royal Oak bought Ozark Oak. They produce the same product. You can contact them at 870-427-5688.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Have a nice day!

I knew my RO was looking better.

I think a forum memeber was down there maybe a year ago and mentioned Royal Oak bought it and took some pictures of the facility. Nice a member of commerce assisted you with the question.
Man I wish it was the same product...."The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Hi Ron, I have been by there on some motorcycle trips and as recent this April. lots of stacked wood.

Did you ask about Ms. Paxton while you were at it?
-
Interesting.
Ron, any chance you could find out what's going on at Area 51?

I used to work with a guy on the ambulance that was stationed there while in the Air Force. It was like pulling hen's teeth to get an info out of him about it. He just said he worked for the base's fire dept. while they were working on the Stealth project.....never could get anything more than that unfortunately. Of course then I thought, maybe that was truly all he did--stayed/locked in a remote building with a fire truck that never got used for a however many years. He was at the coolest, most mysterious place in the country, yet never got to see a damn thing. We'll never know! :( -

Like I've been saying all along... RO is just as good as OO ever was.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Guess it is now confirmed.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -
I could be wrong, but I don't think so, but RO now has 10 or 12 charcoal plants just in the Ozark area. So thinking that someone can pinpoint product coming from the Yellville facility is a needle in the haystack. Besides I'll bet once packaged all their plants probably ship to warehouse facilities for distribution all over the US. Kid all you want guys, but I believe Rockwood has a better reputation for consistent product than co-mingled charcoal from all over the country like RO. I even recall the days RO used foreign woods which sparked, smoked and stunk!
-
Just my $.02 but I've been think RO has been a little better as well. Still no where near rockwood or OO though. But better than the crap it was a few years ago.
Slumming it in Aiken, SC. -
Dang-It all burns-sometimes RO (or the produced private brands) requires a bit more finesse to start the cook but you can make it all work. But one disclaimer- cowboy for me or any heavy mesquite lump. Just an opinion and we all know. 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.

Never have any trouble lighting RO with the paper towel/oil method. Does spark with Mapp torch .

You guys want premium lump, switch to Cowboy! You'll thank me.------------------------------

Can any one find codes showing which plant bagged it? For quality control they should have some.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

Same plant doesn't mean same wood, same process and same quality control, right?
