Rockwood but if on a budget royal oak does just fine. if 10$ makes little difference then get the rockwood“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

Rockwood is awesome for using with other flavored woods as it has such a lite smoke taste all by itself.
Royal oak has a stronger but decent flavor to it's smoke.

The OP joined the forum a mere months ago but is already plotting to destroy it with his divisive and explosive question. And not even on a Friday.

I'll throw in my two cents, as that's what each opinion on this subject is worth. (I don't say that to throw sh!t, I say it because I think geographic location and altitude have a lot to do with how lump burns)(also, most of my philosophies are based in complete and total BS).
I digress. I use two brands. Rockwood for L&S and anything else indirect. Royal Oak in the 15lbs. red bag from HD for hot cooks, grilling and when I use a vessel (like a Dutch Oven for chili) because it's readily available here and saves the RW as it's not.

bbqing.com and bbqquebec.com might be potential customers. I think BBQ Quebec has a distribution agreement with BMR hardware stores. @stlcharcoal your french translations better be good 😂 ____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli -
After many trials, Rockwood, hands down!The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

Other way around......I have no interest in them. All the big boxes have contacted us and it's a huge waste of time to even engage. It's a non-starter when they start telling me what they pay for charcoal from Mexico and South America, the ridiculous margin and damage policies they require, and all the other BS. They're buying charcoal for less than we can even produce it--and that should tell you something since the companies producing it, the distributors, and freight companies moving it thousands of miles, are all still making money. Must be nice to be to pay pennies for clear cut wood & labor, then pump as much particulate into the atmosphere as you want. EPA+DNR+OSHA+IRS+ETC = $$$$$$OshawaDave said:

It took me many years to learn that you "get what you pay for". It holds true in most all cases. Volkswagen vs Cadillac, Ruths Chris vs Longhorn, Ruths Chris vs Reverse Sear on the BGE, etc.
Over and out.

Check with your local Ace Hardware stores, if they don't stock it, they can special order it out of their distribution center.Slippy said:

We do not have many dealers in that area. Here's the locator: http://rockwood.onlineSonVolt said:stlcharcoal said:

Ace
Some Ace Hardwares not on our locator, might have it on the shelf though. If not, they can have it in a few days out of the Loxley warehouse using SKU# 8400772. Their website will show if you're local store has it: https://rockwoodcharcoal.com/ace-hardware/
We're just starting to hit True Values in that area, just ask them to order SKU# 249526.
Last resort, order it online from us and you'll have it in 2-days: http://rockwood.store
Last Last Last resort.....Amazon or eBay. Still comes direct from us, but you're paying 10-15% more to cover all the fees we have to pay through them

I’m in Orange County, ACE is where I get Rockwood lump but I usually have to order it to the one closest to me. If I’m in a pinch I’ll go to Barbecues Galore and pick up some Fogo. You should have one of those or both near you in most of So Cal.Hiker said:OMG. I had no idea there was such variety and passion for lump. Thanks for the thread. I will search for more data. I live in Southern California.
