    looks like @rrp's car. =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I assume a big box store like Lowes or Home Depot? What's the good price?

    At $2.48/box I'd buy it even if it said "Cowboy" on the side.

    I paid the posted sale price of $4.99 for my 18 boxes. 

    I don’t think there is any left in my area.

    This stuff is better than RO. Every piece has looked well carbonized so far. 

    At the sale price , cost is equivalent to briqs.  About $0.25/lb. I’d get more, if I had 600lbs less charcoal in my garage.

     I’ve also noticed that this lump barely sparks. I think it’s because it’s in a plastic bag, and so adsorbs less water in our higher humidity climate, than lump packaged in a paper bag.

    I thought the same thing. But the more educated lump experts on the forum told me the bag would trap and hold more moisture. Have not seen any moisture issues with boxes almost 2 years old.

    Thanks @Photo Egg for this post. When i saw the post i called my Academy (Temple, TX) and they didn’t know about the close-out or if they had the lump. Great young guy said he would look around. Came back in a few minutes and said there was some boxes way up on a side wall but would have to get a ladder to see it if he could get a price. 
    Came back with $2.49 a box. Ask how many any he guessed 15/20 up there. Told him i could be there in 30 mins and would take all of them. 
    Got there and he and i used a ladder and found 39 boxes. Great score! 39 boxes. 
    Cant believe not one box on the floor or marked.

    Could even be a little more. I weighed a few boxes some time ago, and they averaged about 12 lbs. haven’t measured the box by itself yet though.
