What's a leftover? Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Would be interested in a pallet share in SW Ct, Westchester County, Northern NJ.

Morgan4x4 Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Or 10 boxes if needed to make a good pallet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What's a leftover? Posted June 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Morgan...With only 20 boxes between us, and residential delivery (no loading dock) the cost gets too high. In the past I've been involved in shares where one person had a loading dock and several people shared a fuller pallet. Worked out reasonably well. If someone else chimes in with commercial delivery possible, I'd still be interested. I live in Darien, Ct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan4x4 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Depending on the trucking company or forwarder, we maybe able to have it delivered to the terminal and then unload them there. I agree it would be great to have a few more people to get a full skid/pallet of 40 boxes. I ordered 3 pallets years ago and got stuck with a whole skid when some people backed out and i had a loading dock then. We should figure out the payment plan too- maybe we can send the monies to CA as a group for the shipment as individual payments. I’m going to ask someone i know in Bridgeport CT area if we can use their loading dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holt A bit premature for me (our 21” Supreme is aboard ship 2+ weeks out of LA) but down the road I’d be interested in sharing a pallet order. No idea yet what our usage rate might be, and thus how many boxes I could take. I do have loading dock access at work, and drive a half ton pickup w/ 8’ bed. Located on Cape Cod.

Morgan4x4 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 so we have 20. the boxes of charcoal doesn't go bad so if John T goes for 10 boxes then we have 30. if you are like me who grills or smokes all year round at least 3 days a week, thats using 4-1/4 lbs a week x 52= 220lbs or 10 boxes. however to be on the conservative side you will have enough for 1.5 yrs and its a lot cheaper doing it by the skid vs 1 box with shipping is close to 50-60 bucks. just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John T Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 so pardon my ignorance, but how many boxes (shipped on one pallet) are needed to make this a "good deal?" If indeed the charcoal doesn't go bad over time, I could be talked into joining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptMike Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Hi all - I live in Fairfield County, too, and am about to order a 32"BB (for which I'm very excited. I'm trying to figure out how much coco char and coffee wood splits/chunks to order. To that end, I ask... 1) How many cooks (I know, they all differ) do you get out of a box of coco char? Or how many pounds do you go through in a year? 2) Same question for coffee wood? 3) Since I have a delivery coming anyway, does anyone want me to throw any more boxes onto my delivery? I can't wait to join the club and start cooking and learning! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Best advice = load up that pallet with as many boxes of cocochar and coffee wood charcoal as it will hold. Cheapest shipping cost you will ever get. I have a tendency to "hoard" my cocochar and only use it on very long cooks - butts & briskets. So a box will last me quite a long time. YMMV 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Mundt Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 I also live in Fairfield County and used to buy Coco char via Amazon but that service is no longer available. I don’t see any recent activity on the forum topic trail but would be interested in a share up to 30 boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
