Firecraft.com No Longer in the Lump Charcoal Game...

Brethren,
Apologies if this is old news, I've been off the forums for a bit, but I did a search prior to posting and didn't see anything.
Got my monthly email from Firecraft (been using them for years) advertising its "end of season" sale, and when I went to the site I noticed that it has changed a lot. As in there is no more lump charcoal for sale.
I called the company and asked and they said that they are getting out of the lump charcoal game and are solely focused on pellet grills and accessories.
Sad day for this family. Maybe the shipping and price increases got the best of them. Hope it doesn't portend a trend...

There have been a couple of threads about this.
Doesn't seem too surprising - I can't imagine they were making much (if any) profit from shipping out big heavy bags of charcoal.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -
Used them several times for lump and often added a few other items just because they had great selection and the shipping was free at that point. Have had nothing but great experience with them, including their customer service when I had a minor issue. It's certainly less of a problem now that it's become much easier to get Rockwood through Ace.Stillwater, MN

For all Ace customers and future customers.....SIGN UP FOR THE REWARDS!!!! They will mail you $5 off $15, $7 off $20, etc. quite often and on your birthday. A lot of rewards programs are BS and more like rebates, but this one is legit.

I used Firecraft and like what they offered....Always bought 5 bags to get the free shipping....guess I will have to find another supplier. Glad this thread was brought up again as I missed the others. Ace may be my go to place now...

Get my Rockwood now at local Ace and use my "rewards" card discounts to get $10 off per bag! No brainer!

It's coming.....should debut when the new California bags are ready (by end of October). Not sure you're going to like the price though. We don't have anywhere near the discount on shipping that firecraft (and moreover their sister company) had with FedEx ground.
That ace can get them, just have them run sku 8400772. Which store is it? Unless they're in Arizona, California, or Nevada, they can order them right now. -

If anyone is temporarily SOL because of the change over, then yeah we can do that. You'll need a commercial address and a dock or forklift. Otherwise residential or liftgate is going to make it too expensive. "Hold at depot" is NOT an option either. Once you get a location secured, use the contact form on the website and someone will let you know what the total cost will be once we can get some freight quotes. -
@stlcharcoal How many bags are on a pallet?

@stlcharcoal. Will you be in any of the Ace stores in Lex Ky. I know you're in Versailles and that's close for me but it's a bit pricey. $25

I snagged 2 y cables for the flameboss 300 at 6.95 each. But agreed they have changed. I haven't bought from them in a long time because of dropping everything pretty much on site.

They can order it, but I don't know if they're going to stock it. It's up to each store what they stock. I really wish Steepltons would carry it.
