Hit four WalMarts today, and not a single bag of RO Lump to be had. Saw 4 bags few weeks ago that were pretty broken up, but left them on shelf. Asked clerk, said they are ordering but none getting delivered right now :angry: :unsure: :(

I will NEVER again let wife or friends intimidate me when looking in my garage at 8 or 10 bags of RO!!! Also, the best RO lump I found was in very early spring before folks started grilling - still on pallet and lots of big pieces!!!

Next year, 30 bags, carefully stacked, and inventoried weekly!

Have a great rest of 4th!!!!

Ribs and sausage tonight (with one of my standby brands of lump :pinch: )

    I feel your pain! One of our local Walmart's stocks RO during "grilling season", but tucked away in back. Hello, it is grilling season here all year long! I usually buy all they have out except one bag so they know to order more.

    I know the pain and when it happened to me nearly 10 years ago I swore NEVER again! My panic alarm goes off when I get down to only 360 pounds on hand. I then run out like a druggie looking for a fix. As of right now I have 640 pounds on hand. My wife no longer shakes her head! :laugh:

    Just bought 6 bags of RO at my local Wal-Mart in Houston. Plenty in stock.

    Must be a local thing.

    Been using the same - I let Sam's store it for me. :)

    Pops pretty good when lighting with a weed burner - otherwise it is mightyfine, especially at 14.87 for 40#. :)

    ... if they don't have it in stock they can order it and it takes 3 to 4 days. Smith Food King out in this part of the country.

    Kroger Lump is private labeled RO according to the local rep for RO.
