    Doesn't "lump shot" have a place in the adult film industry   ;)

    What do you guys pay for charcoal?   I just had 15 kgs delivered for £18,  according to Google that $24.15 for 33lbs.

    Hard to tell. Is it briquettes or lump wood?

    If you are paying more than 13 to 15 bucks a bag (15 to 18 lbs) you are paying way too much….just my opinion

    He's paying considerably less than that.

    It may have changed, but when I looked into years ago "certified organic" really only applies to food/drink, clothes, and bodily products.  There really wasn't any oversight or governing on anything else.  You want to market a pencil, smart phone, or whoopee cushion as "organic".....go ahead....no one can stop you.  Maybe they have updated it, because this whole "organic" buzz word craze kind of got out of control.

    My point ... in this case "Organic" really means nothing other than a feel good word on the packaging.

    Even if following either FDA or USDA rules "organic" doesn't necessarily meet what many folks would expect from truly "organic" items. That's why some folks look for various third party certifications regarding "organic" foods.

    I was thinking about putting "dolphin friendly", "BPA free", "Conflict free", and "Non-GMO" on our bags for the same reason.  Has absolutely NOTHING to do with charcoal, but gives folks the warm and fuzzies.

    Would probably help sales in Cali since you have finally decided to sell there.

    I's also put "artisanal" on the bag. :)

    @stlcharcoal - dolphin friendly would get my vote if you didn't already have it.  I don't guess that matters since I live in KY and we got no dolphins. Kinda like people from Virginia commenting about California sales.  No cards in the game but a lot of noise nonetheless.

    Haha.....yeah no kidding.  Probably need to take "made in Missouri" off the bags too.  :pensive:

    Seriously this prop65 stuff is killer.....into it for five figures between the lawyers, six revisions on the bag artwork, printing plates, etc.  Crazy.

    I've seen "Gluten Free" popping up on all sorts of food labels, you could add that for fun too.  From a can of hatch chiles:

    Lump I bought visiting Bellingham. The description was a close alternative to hickory. Expensive ****. We don't have artisanal charcoal in Vancouver:).

    Hey STL Charcoal. I just called local Ace here in Vegas. They are not carrying Rockwood yet. I also looked on their website and it doesn't show up. I know you had indicated in a thread that they were expanding that distribution. 
    Do you happen to know if it would be available for order here in Nevada?  If so, any idea how to arrange?

    NV comes out of the California warehouse, which we're not in yet.  Give it another month, it's coming!  :)
