Sams recently got Frontier Lump and I really liked it a lot. However, I went there yesterday and they said it was just a one time purchase for them. So if you like it, check with your local store and get it now. Of course some Sams may continue to carry it, it's a store decision it seems.
 
The verdict is still out for me...I bought 1 bag (40 lbs) for $14 something...
I've used it a couple of times for smoking and a couple for grilling. Not a big fan of it for grilling. I did notice that it sparks quite a bit more than The Good One brand or the BGE brand (Royal Oak private lable?) but have been happy with the size of lumps and lack of small pieces so far.

Are you sure is was 40 lbs? I thought the largest they make is 20 lbs.

Personally I refuse to spend my hard earned money at WalMart or Sams. They are the single largest importer of Chinese goods in the USA. But that's a whole other subject.

Ace Hardware carries frontier. My local store only has the 10 lb ($5.99) but they can order the 20 lbs for $11.99.

Plus it's manufactured here in Kansas. It's all I use. I have no complaints.

I just found the 40lb bags on their website. $14 is a hell of a good price. Where did you get it?
 
Ours has had it for about a year now. I haven't tried it though.

I just went at lunch to get some at the West Allis Sams . .. and it's no longer there :mad2:

I have 4 bags in the garage now, but wanted to stock up based on this news. Maybe I'll try the Waukesha one tomorrow.

Yes it was the 40lb bag for $14 & change at Sam's.
I'm pretty sure that I read on the bag that the product was from Central America...not KS. Probably distributed thru Chetopa.
