The Good One is my favorite charcoal by far. Cowboy isn't even close IMO. Search for different brands because there is a difference, but TGO is my favorite. Hopefully they will bring it back in stock.

Kroger brand lump is quite good if you live in an area served by Kroger. Royal Oak lump is also very good (at a good price point) if you are okay with shopping at Wally World. Around here, B&B available at Academy is another good brand of lump. I liked Wicked Good when I tried it earlier this year, but they were having serious supply issues in the summer, among other things.
I bought a few bags of RO lump when it went on sale a few months ago ($10 for 18lbs) and so far like it the best among what is available.

I tried a bag of Nature's Own, and it had a surprisingly few big chunks & lots of stuff so small I couldn't use it. I prefer Wicked Good and was surprised how much more dense it is than the RO I got at RD. I'll stick with the Wicked, but it is pricey!

yes Wicked Good costs more but it lasts a lot longer, so I think its a wash more or less

I say that I pay more money upfront to spend as much money as I would in back end/long run. As opposed to spending cheaper money up front but having to buy more lump to do the same amount of cooking.

Have any of you tried Parkers? I got a bag the last time I was at the BBQ Equipment Store, I thought it was pretty good stuff.

I prefer TGO in my egg also. Ace hardware on 84th street stocks it. Ive used cowboy also and thought it smelled and took forever to get going
