I wish I could find a picture of my ex. Then you would know true lump.
I googled it but she didn't come up.

I never really thought of looking at restaurant supply places for lump. The only thing we get 'round here is Cowboy lump (pass!).

We get mesquite lump out of mexico cheap but it's full of crap.Rocks,dust &etc.We don't have a restuarant depot here,so for now i use the new kingsford.
This is excellent stuff. i used about a quarter of the bag and 4 logs on a 9 hour cook in the BYC. I only brought 3 bags to try but will be heading back to pick up 6 more this weekend. I dumped the bag intoa wheel barrow to see if the bottom was all junk, but it was pretty unifor throughout, whats in the pics, was in the middle and bottom too, very bottom had some smaller pieces due to settling, but thats ok.. Stuffs a winner.
Kapn, didnt check the bag for details on the base wood, but i will in the AM.

No no no no no no no.
You can't be pre-cooking food for a Boy Scout campout.
Nooooo.
The boys have to cook it themselves over fires they make from flint sparks.

Sorry racer.. i had to cheat a little. I cooked 2 butts for pulled pork sandwichs for lunch.
The boys are competing with other troops and to build a bridge over a small stream. Best bridge wins.
I'm working with a few of the boys on their cooking badges. I intended on bring out the Hondo and a couple of kettles and doing chicken and ribs. i also have to make cowboy stew for 20 and make breakfast.
now for the But....
2-3 inchs of rain tomorrow. Scout master said..
"this is boy scouts, not girl scouts, we build that bridge rain or shine."
yeah, and pnemonia... but I committed to being there, so I'm going... just not going to cook outside all day.. the stew i can make under the popup.

I really will keep an eye out for that "Ole Good Times" stuff that

That lump looks much better than the stuff I find locally. Usually way too much dust, and the pieces are broken up or just chips towards the bottom. Great score.
Make the most out of the camping trip. Watching them build a bridge should be funny if nothing else, somebody is going to fall into the water, just a matter of when.

I bought some Mexican lump from a local (Dallas) restaurant supply house and it was TERRIBLE! Tons of dust and it cooked "dirty."
I have one 50# bag left and don't know if I'll ever use it again. The guy that sold it to me said as I loaded it, "If you like this stuff I have some even better stuff I'll sell you next time."
I'll pass.

Man, I love Resturant Depot. We go there at least every third weekend. I had no clue it existed before joining here.

I wish there was one close to my home. I think the nearest one from me is in Miami.
