normstar Posted November 7, 2012 Report Posted November 7, 2012 Hi All - I'm looking for a good source of lump in So Cal for my high heat cooks and stumbled across this place. Has anyone tried their stuff? I called and they told me their retail pricing is $25-40lb bag of oak and hickory; and $13/40-lb bag of Mesquite. Sounds like if you've got a restaurant or some sort of business they may have wholesale pricing as well. Will update y'all if I try it. http://calchar.com/catablog-terms/charcoal-products-2/
EGGARY Posted November 7, 2012 Report Posted November 7, 2012 Re: Lump Charcoal source in Los Angeles I go to the Restaurant Depot for Royal Oak Lump Charcoal. 17lbs for $9. You need to have a Resale #.
EGGARY Posted November 7, 2012 Report Posted November 7, 2012 Re: Lump Charcoal source in Los Angeles I am sorry. I also go there for Lump Charcoal as well. Do not use mesquite.
mguerra Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 Re: Lump Charcoal source in Los Angeles I might rent an 18 wheeler and go out there to fill it up with that $13. mesquite!!!
Firemonkey Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 Re: Lump Charcoal source in Los Angeles Doc, call these guys: http://www.lazzari.com/ They will wholesale to you if you take a palette. I used to use their mesquite all the time. It was $12 and change for a 40# bag, 25 bags per palette. They have distribution warehouses around the country, (price above was for Orlando) and I was able to go pick mine up 20 miles from my house. Unfortunately, all they stock in Orlando is mesquite, and not the oak. Your price may be cheaper with less freight since they for sure aren't growing or producing mesquite around here.

mguerra Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 Re: Lump Charcoal source in Los Angeles OK, thanks you two.
Ducaticraig Posted November 11, 2012 Report Posted November 11, 2012 Re: Lump Charcoal source in Los Angeles Gary, let me know next time you go to get lump charcoal, I will go with you. If you ever want to go to pick up some Coco Char let me know as well. We can make the drive to Carson and pick it up from the warehouse.
EGGARY Posted November 11, 2012 Report Posted November 11, 2012 Re: Lump Charcoal source in Los Angeles Craig, The Charcoal Place is next door to a Supplier that I buy from. As for Carson, if it is possible, I can always pick up the CoCo as well. I have another supplier that I buy from in Carson as well. I don't know if Dennis will allow Customer Will Call. It would make it easier for me since I am down their a lot. I still have a box of CoCo left.
