I think my quest for lump is over!!!

I ordered a bag of Lazarri Mesquite lump from Gordons Food Service yesterday and picked it up today.

40 lb bag for $19.99

Its awesome! It does pop a lot in the chimney, but went away after that.

Check out these pics. I dumped some in a bucket so I could see what was hiding under the surface and was quite happy.

So as long as there isnt a turtle or a nest of scorpions in the bottom of the bag, I am sold on this stuff

Oh, you didn't get the bag with the scorpions in it, well, maybe nest time. Did you get one of the ones with a $20 in it?
 
I put the big chunks in a plastic or paper bag and slam them on the ground with a solid thwack, breaks up perfectly

Tandoori style lump charcoal.

They actually market Tandoor grade charcoal, which I think is essentially large chunks of charcoal. I looked into getting some shipped to me a few years back (never seen it in stores), but the price was daunting. Plus, handling during shipping would probably break a lot of the big chunks.
 
I use that too. About $14.00 around here. I mix it with mesquite chunks from Wally World. Makes a mean brisket. Just the right amount of flavor that way.
 
At OSH out here in California the mesquite lump is $9.99 for I think 22 pounds, but I prefer the oak so I get it from BBQPD instead.
 
Get yourself a steel bucket and a 4lb. hammer to break up the big pieces. Like a mortar & pestle for charcoal.

Where is it available in Reno? Now that AceHardware.com doesn't have WW, I'm in lump purgatory and need a replacement source for good lump. TIA. :clap:
 
I set the huge pieces aside to throw in my offset.

If I dont like that, I will bust them up as suggested.

I would rather bust up huge pieces than try to deal with useless gravel sized pieces.

All you need now is a brick layers hammer to break up the really big pieces you get every now and then.

I use the back side of a hatchet. Just a tap and they fall apart. Considering the price, it's well worth it. And as for pricing, that bag of Lazzari is about $13 in W. Washington state.

I forgot to mention that by beating on the chunks in a bucket all the charcoal stays in the bucket instead of flying all over the place.
 
I used to use Lazzari all the time when my local grocery store carried it. I always liked it. Too bad they stopped carrying it. My local Restaurant Depot carries it in the big bags for cheap (forgot price). Really good stuff with HUGE chunks in it.

My favorite is Wicked Good. It is just really hard to get. I am trying to become a distributor of Wicked Good but they are currently out of product according to the owner. Hopefully that will change soon.
