cruzmisl Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi, I was at Costco today and saw two 10lb bags of lump for $6. I picked up 4 bags (8 total) and brought it home. I figured how bad can it be for the price. I put some in my modo and holy shiznit, this is nice stuff. Nice big hunks. I'm lighting it now and will let you know how it cooks.

Firemonkey Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Any idea of the brand on it?? Royal Oak is $5.24 per 10# bag here in FL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobvoeh Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Any idea of the brand on it?? Royal Oak is $5.24 per 10# bag here in FL. That is the only reason I walk in to Wacky Mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Any idea of the brand on it?? Royal Oak is $5.24 per 10# bag here in FL. That's still 2x what he paid at Costco (20 lbs for $6). But not a bad price. Our local ACE Hardware now charges $11.99 for 20 lbs. of Cowboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Royal Oak is $5.24 per 10# bag here in FL. Same here at Wallyworld! Pretty much all I use unless they are out. Then Lowes has Cowboy for about the same price. Wish we had a Costco...all we got is Sam's club > -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have been arrested by now, if I had 25 lbs of beefy wonderment sizzling on my grill. I'd not have been able to contain myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzmisl Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Here is a photo of the bag, and their website, http://www.originalcharcoal.com/index.asp 30 cents a pound isn't too shabby. It cooked up nice but popped more than my usual lump (I was grilling). Still for the price I'll put up with the popping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trish Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I don't like lump that pops a lot, it tends to leave a lot of ash on the food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzmisl Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 It only pops until its up to temp....... {edit}I did another high heat cook tonight, chili lime shrimp (damn those were good). Anyway, I found that this lump burns hot as hell but also the popping continued even though most of the coals were lit. I had to be careful with the air supply. If I tried to go to hot too soon it would pop and drop ash on my shrimp is not tasty. Other than the popping it has great flavor and nice size chunks. Maybe it won't pop on low and slows.... Is there a way to stop the popping or is it just me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzmisl Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I did a low and slow yesterday and the lump performed flawlessly. Great flavor too but it's not good for high heat, too much popping. I'll buy it again for the low temp stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
