Rancher Charcoal coming to Trader Joe's

big brother smoke · 03-12-2009, 03:26 PM

Hi folks,

I was just curious how much it would be for a pallet of Rancher shipped here to SOCAL. I was going to ask some SOCAL bros to chip in, if interested in the product. Before I could get my inquiry out good, the guy in customer service said it will be in Trader Joe's around the March 25th and 26th.

Bags will be around $6ish he said.

So stay tuned Rancher lovers, we are going to be in Rancher heaven again despite the increase.

I heard this on the BBQ Central Hour. Awesome, though TJ's does have a bit higher price than say Lowes or HD.

But I can't wait to try this stuff.

What do you guys think of the cowboy lump charcoal. I have found it at Lowes and HD. Have not tried any others... Have not found any others. I want to try the Royal lump charcoal.

I like the cowboy lump. But recently found some ROYAL OAK STEAK HOUSE LUMP and found it to be just as good , maybe just a bit better, at the same $

Cowboy is okay in a pinch. However, I try not to find myself in a pinch due to the s/crap that is in cowboy.

Cowboy is great for the 4th of July

Don't waste a dime on cowboy charcoal - it's total crap. It burns way too fast and is made from scrap. Also mostly small pieces...Bad stuff.

Well, hot DAMN! It'll be time to build the Tower of Rancher in the garage back up again!

Back to the topic at hand, BBS do you know/recall what size bags they will carry?(Were the Ranchers of olde ~18 pounders?)

G's,

I am not sure. I assumed it was the same old bags. However, you know what happens when we assume.

I will call them again tomorrow to confirm.

JD McGee · 03-12-2009, 06:34 PM

Cool...I love Rancher...

swamprb · 03-12-2009, 07:11 PM

I'll bet you anything the Rancher will be in smaller bags and the price will reflect that. Trader Joes is great-but they don't have the shelf space to stock a pallet of 20lb bags of charcoal in any of the stores I've been to. And it'll probably be a "seasonal" item too!
I'd boycott farkin' Rancher and support Cowboy Charcoal and the "STUBB'S Natural briqs!! JMHO

You'd support Cowboy over Rancher

I'll bite, why?

I wonder if we will see this on the east coast. I loved Rancher and would definitely stock up if it was available.
