Are you sure it was Edward Scissorhands? Apparently, a few bags were torn by the rat chef from Ratatouille! A couple were torn open with droppings around and... yep, he built a nest in another bag! Yikes... I was wondering if that could impart some “off” flavors?

I called my local home depot and they said they had them but for 9.88. Debating on whether or not to go get some. I currently have a bunch of it and had planned on switching to B&B oak briquettes when I ran out. 1st world problems

Couldn't pass this deal up. Guys at the local store were just scanning the price and looking surprised when I swooped in and said I'll take half of them (they only had 20).Should last a long time, but hopefully it doesn't!

I bought 2 bags last year from Lowes on clearance and thought it was the worst charcoal ever. I don't know if I got a bad batch since so many people here seem to love it. The Weber charcoal was harder to light and gave off terrible white smoke and left really awful taste on the meat. And the ash level was way more than lump charcoal and comparable to regular KB. For grilling it worked ok but was no better than KB.
I kind of want to try again to see if I just got a bad batch last year but if it's the same, it's not even worth $4. |

Which is why I'm wondering if I just got a bad batch. Because the Weber charcoal I used was so awful that I thought about throwing it away. It truly reeked.

I'm nearing the end of a little over 200lbs of the Western lump. Hopefully this stuff is good.

You definitely got a bad batch, I’ve used 40 bags of this over the past year, I’ve found it burns clean, less ash then most briquettes I’ve used but not as little as lump. Burns hot as well and no off putting anything for me. I’d say it lights fast but I use a torch so everything lights pretty fast.
I used my last bag last week, now that I have the mak 2 I only use it in my pk360 and occasionally when I light up the Hunsaker but at this price I had to clean out 2 Home Depot’s for 16 bags, I only left the ones with tears in the bags. At my current use this will likely last me all year. Now if I could get 20 lbs bag of pellets for this price I’d be in heaven! |

Home Depot's not the only place with stuff on sale. I was at Walmart this morning, and looks like they were cleaning out some old stock. The Oklahoma Joe Highland was marked down to about $180.

I bought a bunch of this at the Target clearance in 2017. Being a nearly 100%-of-the- time lump user, I found it to be typically briquette smokey, stinky (and ashy, but not as bad as KBB) at start up. After the crap burns off, this stuff burns pretty hot and lasts a very long time.
I bought about 450#s of lump at the WalMart Western sale last year, so I don't need any fuel. But I'll probably pick up a few bags anyway cuz I'm a sucker for great deals like this. :)

Just in time for me. I'm down to 3 bags of Weber briquettes. Stocked up last time and it's lasted me a while. Think I got 12 or so last time. Going to clear the shelf tomorrow. These things burn hot and long. Consistent briquette. Hard to say anything bad except the silly Ziploc style bag.
