Huge Rock - Simple Truth by Kroger Lump Charcoal
Options

Posts: 18
I work for Kroger and because of this, I have used this store brand of charcoal many times now. It's usually very consistent with maybe a few rocks (like I've seen in many other brands also). Today, I was shaking out some charcoal into the Egg and I couldn't get past what felt like a huge piece. I sat the bag down and looked inside and saw the biggest rock I've ever seen. The quality control on this batch must be nonexistent. Has anyone else seen a rock this large in their bag?

Would've been interesting if you had weighed the bag (was it really 20 lbs, or whatever) and how much the rock weighed.
And, no, I don't pre-weigh my unopened lump bags, either._____________"Pro-Life" would be twenty students graduating from Sandy Hook next month

I just weighed the rock on my food scale and it weighs 1870g. So, just over 4lbs!

Maybe they need to change the claim on the bag to “80% Natural Hardwood”? 😉New Orleans LA

They don't call it Rockwood for nothing....
JK. Never seen one that big before. I have found insulation and metal strapping before in Royal Oak and because of that I never use anything but Rockwood.Large and Small BGECentral, IL -

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
