Charbroil Lump Charcoal

[Harbormaster]

I was just at our local Farm & Fleet store. When I strolled through the outdoor section, I noticed boxes of Charbroil Lump Charcoal. There was one box open, and the pieces looked to be of decent size. Some of the chunks were pretty dense, and there was difficult to read text on the side of the box indicating it's a South American lump.
Price was a little steep though at about $13 for a 15 lb box.
Anyone tried this, and is it any good?

Going to look at the Naked Whiz now to see if they have rated it.

I have seen the South American variety, I decided to just stick with Cowboy and Royal Oak which are proven products and are definitely cheaper.

That would have to be a special charcoal for me to pay that much for it... It would have to regulate the cooking temperature all by itself!

Its steep, but if thats the only option other than Cowboy, I would pay it.

I don't like it, too much dust in the box

Wicked Good Lump uses South American Hardwood & it is a great product, I have several bags in my garage. It is also a bit pricey $11.99 for an 11 lb. bag, but it burns forever. The nice thing with wicked good is it is very neutral so you can add the smoke flavor with the other wood you add, so if the char-broil is at all similar that is nice. Pick up a box & try it out.

Right now I'm on a Rancher kick and if it goes on sale again over the 4th of July for $2.99 a bag like I've heard rumored I'll be adding to my collection.
