Lump charcoal

doubletee1 · 07-19-2018, 05:47 PM

For years I used Ozark Hardwood lump charcoal made right close to where I live in Arkansas. All of the sudden it was gone so I contacted the buyer where I used to get it and he told me they ar now an exclusive supplier for s steakhouse chain in the NE . He said they would be carrying Cowboy Brand which I have used and do like ok . Question to my brethren is “Does anyone have any better suggestions “ just curious . After all that IS where a good product starts right ?
Appreciate any opinions.

I’ve been enjoying the cheap Western brand at Wally World: $10 for 30#. I hear it’s getting sold out and not replenished at lots of locations but can still find it out here.

I stopped by Academy sports today, they had some lump in a box. It was on sale for 4.99/box. It must have been about a 20# box, has anyone tried that? I looked it up on their internet page, but didn't see it there.

I like Rockwood lump. It's clean burning and so far it hasn't been plagued by non lump things or a lot of dust.

Found it, guess it wasn't as big of a box as I thought.

Let me know if you find something good locally, I am just up the road!

I use Royal Oak Lump and have always been satisfied with the results.

tom72 · 07-19-2018, 07:33 PM

I'm a huge fan of Rockwood, and it's all I use now. Nobody near me carries it, so I buy it from Rockwood three bags at a time for free shipping, and it lasts me quite a while.

If I want something I can get nearby, I also like Royal Oak.

They have ozark oak at harp’s again. Ive been buying it again for a few months.

You can also have shipped for free to your local Ace if you use their website.

Timber lump is also excellent.

LYU370 · 07-19-2018, 10:01 PM

Usually been using Royal Oak. It's OK, but some bags have some pretty small pieces. Kamado Joe lump is good. Pretty good price if you get it during a KJ Roadshow at Costco. Got a bag Timber to try out. Going to pick up some bags of the Western lump at Wally World, price is down to $7.88 for a 30# bag. Have tried Grove lump, that burned quite well.

Royal Oak has always been a favorite of mine, although I just purchased a box of Kamado Joe Big Block to give it a go....
