I had a misquote in my $82 Sam's shopping spree thread. I called out this charcoal as a #20 bag. It's actually a #40 bag. The price was $14 plus change. So far this weekend I've done three cooks with this, two in the Egg and one in my BDS. It resembles Lazarri mesquite in size, flavor and burn time. Lazarri is just over $20 for a #40 bag. I can't say about ash production. It's not as sparky as some of the Royal Oak I've gotten lately, so this is a plus. The bag is plastic lined, which is nice. These two pics show the average size pieces I've found so far. There is one huge branch in the bag that looks about 3 or 4 inches in diameter.
