Just thought I'd share cuz if you shop for your meat there you don't have to make a separate trip to get coal.

I agree. That's what I use when I cook with lump. I don't like it enough for bold type, but I find it to be a good as any other lump I have tried. And, the price is certainly right.

My understanding is that Royal Oak makes Kroger brand charcoals.

I don't like burning fat smoke no mater what my fuel is, when cooking for a long time. That's why I use water in my WSM water bowl. The fat drops into water, not onto a scorching hot surface.
