Online sale. $11.99 for 20lb bag lump. I bought the last 4 at my nearest Ace. $1 cheaper than Academy and I didn't have to drive across town.
I really liked the B&B Hickory but my Ace doesn't have it and the nearest Walmart stopped selling it. This is the first time trying the oak so I hope it's just as good. I'm tempted to buy 4-5 more bags. Have you tried the oak blend? Is it decent?Thanks. I scrolled looking at lump coal offerings and El Diablo scrolled. I used to buy El Diablo at Albertsons in Santa Fe 15$ for 40#.
ACE online shows it 19, well 20$ for 40#. My experience was positive with El Diablo lump but it’s been quite a while
Haha, the green bag hickory I bought at Walmart was also damaged. 6 bags taped up and had sat there for a few weeks. I finally asked the manager if he would discount them I would buy them all. Got 6-20lb bags for $8 each. And I haven't seen it since. :sad:Yes, I alway have B&B Lump- but also can’t help but buy others. I usually buy the 10# bags of B&B at the grocery store on sale often 5.99$. Mesquite same price but 8#
It wasn’t that long ago the word “blend” was not on the package. In fact I think I have 8-10 ten pound bags of oak. I’m out of mesquite. I like the hickory but at Academy the other day the two Hickory green bags were busted open. Passed.
The XL was available too but not on sale. A new strategy I have is late in the fall when stores start clearing out the garden section for all the Thanksgiving and Christmas stuff, talk to the manager and you might get a deal on charcoal. That's how I got the hickory lump. They want to clear that floor space for holiday stuff.I did buy the black bag to try.

Thanks for the head's up! Guess I'll be heading up to my local Ace first thing in the morning.
