Group Charcoal Buy - Mississauga?

I know that Michael (RGBHV) lives in Mississauga, and there must be another Egger or two nearby.
I typically buy my lump at Cdn Tire or Lowes for around $17/8kg bag. Isee that this website advertises some nice sounding lump (Basques - never tried it):
http://www.basquescharcoal.com/bbq_products.htm
They will deliver a skids (36 bags) for $11.60/bag. I could eventually go through 36 bags, but I don't want to turn my garage into a charcoal warehouse, so I'm wondering if a coupe of people would be interested in going in for a group buy. It seems like a pretty good price for what reads like nice lump, and a dozen bags would not sit around all that long.
Any one have experience with Basques lump, and if it's good, any takers?

Mark,
Basqes is really nice lump but I have never had a lot of big pieces with it. Nella Cutlery off of Southdown Rd. is the distributor for Maple Leaf. They are 12.50 for 8kg over 24 bags. I would be in for that.

Hi Steve - that's a great idea. Maple Leaf is my current favourite lump, and now that the summer is gone, I am paying $17.50 for it at Lowes. Also, Nella Cultery is very local to me, and looks like a great place to visit.
I hope Michael has a chance to weigh in on this.

Mark,
Let me know and we can meet down there. I get a discount on the other stuff and my knives are due to be sharpened. Maybe lunch and couple of bevvies too.

Gary,
If we get enough guys together I'll see if they will sell it to us any cheaper. Have to go this week anyway.
