If the KJ or RO lump give you the nuclear temps you want, then just go back to using those.

With that being said, I'm easy to please as far as charcoal is concerned.
Tried the B&B Premium out today and I’ll start keeping it on hand. Pieces were Goldilocks size...lit well and cooked nice. I expect some dust at bottom of the bag, but it shouldn’t be a considerable amount like I’ve experienced lately with other brands.

If there is a better product available in the USA for my lump needs, I have yet to discover it in my 45 years of BBQ.
Sorry to see your dissatisfaction for something that has provided excellent results for me.

As much as I agree with the rest of your post, the box doesn't really help. We ship in boxes as well, and the charcoal still breaks down. It's the agitation and impact that breaks it down charcoal, not weight.......and that happens more on the boxes because of the air space. At least with the bags, the paper conforms and they all nest together. In boxes, the lump can bounce and giggle because there's no way to preload the dunnage unless you put it on a vibration table first (what's the point then).
In any case, cardboard boxes are 3x-4x the cost of multiwall paper bags. The consumer is not going to want to eat that cost, hence what happen to the charcoal in the box.
