Charcoal Question

[PalmettoSmoke]

Hello everyone. I am in Laurens, SC (right outside of Greenville), and I am having a devil of a time finding anything other than Kingsford. I would like to use either Original Charcoal Rancher/Lump or Royal Oak Lump. I have been to every Home Depot in the Upstate with no success on the Original Charcoal. Have been to 4 different Wally Worlds looking for Royal Oak with no luck.

I live about 5 miles from the Wally World Distribution Center. I may just have to bust in there and find it .

The only thing that i can find is Cowboy lump, and I don't like that at all. Anyone else here from Upstate SC. If so, where do you get it at?

Yeah...I've called them, and everywhere that it is "supposed" to be doesn't have it.

If you have a hard time finding any of those charcoals I'm not sure where this is in location to you, but Wicked Good is some of the best charcoal on the market, a little more pricey than some others, but it might be worth looking into.

They are in Charlotte - Take a drive to the "Big City" if they stock and sell from where they are based. The HD's around here all have the Rancher.

The HD's around here all have the Rancher.

But how does he get to over the rainbow???

They only sell it by the pallet in Charlotte. Not sure I want to buy that much at one time right now.

Could not agree more. You pay more, however it burns so nicely that it is well worth the price.

Can you find Duraflame? They have a pretty good all wood briquette w/ natural binders and they also make a lump. The lump is not so dense, but it smells good when it burns....they say that in S.C. they are available in:
http://www.ingles-markets.com/
http://www.pigglywiggly.com/
http://www.publix.com/
http://www.kroger.com/homepage/index.htm

I don't know if those are close to you, or they have them in your immediate area, but it might be worth a shot.....

Perhaps God may be telling you to use wood.

... and Kingsford

We use Humphrey Lump Charcoal. http://humphrey-charcoal.com/ I contacted them and asked for their nearest distributer in my area and they replied pretty quickly. We can get it in 10#, 20# and 40# bags. Good luck.

I get Royal Oak at Wally World. And Kingsford briquettes too. Sometimes when I get over to Sam's Club Ill get a twin pack of Kingsford.

Home Depot in Greer had Original Charcoal Rancher today. Looked like it just came in because the pallet was pretty full. You may want to try your local HD again.

I would stay away from Original Charcoal Rancher. I tried it and did not like it. Burns okay, but you get alot of white ash which coats everything badley. Also 75% of the briquettes crumble after only one burn.

I usually work with Kingsford and can get 75% of the briquettes to make a second burn. I much prefer Kingsford, is a greatly superior product.
