I wanted to pick some up but my HD didn't have any. Don't know if they were out or didn't carry it. Trying to find someone to help you there is like sqeezing blood from a turnip.

somebody shut me the fark up.
I was at the Home Depot in Bothell, WA yesterday...4.99 there as well. :icon_shy
talked to the store manager, he said they usually have a flyer just for the 4th weekend, that specializes in "grilling", should come out in either the sat or sun. paper? at least you guys got, the Hawaii shipment didn't come in until after Memorial day, and they didn't have to honor the 2.99 price!

I wish my HD's would stock it. When I asked someone there, they both didn't know what I was tallking about.

I did not like my experience with Rancher Charcoal. Burns okay, but you get alot of white ash which coats everything badley. Also 75% of the briquettes crumble after only one burn in my Weber Kettle.
I usually work with Kingsford and can get 75% of the briquettes to make a second burn. I much prefer Kingsford, is a greatly superior product.

Hum.... Thus far I've had pretty good results with Rancher. I've found it to burn a bit hotter than Kingsford and maybe not as long, but with a lot less ash. I have not experienced any floating ash getting on the food. It also doesn't have the ammonia smell when lighting like Kingsford.
When Kingsford changed to the new faster lighting stuff, I found a great deal on Royal Oak Charcoal and have been using that, also with great results. Although there is quite a bit of ash build up with the RO.
I've got a lot of Rancher left to burn, I hope I my experience with the first 7 bags ain't a fluke!

I have been thru about 6 bags of Rancher not counting what we used at the Bash and at BBS' house. I haven't experienced the flying ash either. Is that in your Bandera or just the kettle?

I've checked around the Tulsa area, and most of the Home Depots are out of Rancher. They tell me that it was a one-time shipment arranged by the buyer at the head office.
Today I talked to a Mr Krause at the Original Charcoal Company, and he verified that the Home Depot thing was a one-time shot. Evidently Kingsford makes lots of concessions for HD.
Anyone up for a barrage of e-mail to HD asking them to carry Original Rancher?

I too bought over 30 bags of it when it was on sale for $2.99. My local HD still has it in stock for $4.99. Looks like they have a lot more than they did...
I hope they continue to stock it!

I have been experiencing the same thing in the Kansas City area HD's. I'm always up for a good email campaign. Here is my email response from Mr. Krause received Mon. 7-16-07 about the availability of Rancher and suggestions for getting at your HD.

Chad,
Our product is, or at least was in 100% of the HD's across the country.
Home Depot is currently carrying our RANCHER briquette. Please see the
below e-note.
Our Home Depot SKU # is 990-347. If your local store is out, it is
possible that others in the area may still have stock. Also, I would bet
that if you expressed enough interest, the store manager could locate some
and have it brought to your store. I have requested this of HD managers in
the past, and have almost always been satisfied. Additionally, you will be
helping them clear space for a new product to go into our RANCHER space.
Also, give a shout to HD at www.homedepot.com. "Contacts" is at the
bottom. I am sure that they would love to hear from you.
Again, thank you for your interest and support!
Eric

The only problem is getting them to sell it again at 2.99. How we going to influence that?

Make them an offer they can't refuse...Tell them you would take 3 bags if they put them out at $4.99 but you have friend who would buy 10 or 20 bags if they have a sale at $2.99.
