This is my current charcoal stash, about 650 pounds.

I scored 400 pounds of KBB six weeks ago at HD for $107. Not a huge fan, but for .25 a pound I’ll use it.

Let’s see your charcoal stash!

I’m almost embarrassed to say I’m down to an open 20 lb bag of coal.  Time to stock up!

I think the most I’ve ever had is about 200 lbs.  I don’t have the storage space.  I use 80-100 lbs a month in the summer.

Good lord that's a lot of charcoal.  But 25 cents/lb is tough to pass up

typically there would be 6-800 pounds in 2 or 3 old garbage cans, but I am beginning to worry as I am extremely low

Never saw a need to hoard charcoal. There is always a good supply available at all local stores. Unlike toilet paper.....

I try to buy a little in bulk when I can hit 25 cents a pound and I am running low.  However if I find it on clearance for signicantly cheaper I will clear a store out. I think I still have 15 or so bags.

No stash for me, but I keep a few of this and that so I'm never out.  I've not found any B&B orange bag briquettes in a while and have been looking.  Currently rationing what I have of that for our beach trip.  Best regular price I've found on B&B lump is Academy Sports here at $12.99/20lb bag.  I almost got some Kingsford at Costco the other day but didn't want to mess with it just yet.... It burns SO fast.  Oh and another thing - I tried Jealous Devil large briquettes this past weekend and I cannot recommend it.  I was pouring out a chimney of lit coals and they basically disintegrated, some of them going to the deck.  Luckily I had the water hose on and nearby.  I tried lighting the rest of it last night in the grill and when spreading them out they did the same thing.  Maybe I got a bad batch, but I'm not risking that again.

Lol.  I just bought 8 bags and thought I was a hoarder.  I'm a rookie.

The Kingsford original charcoal on sale in my area hasn’t been less than $.50 per pound.
The Royal Oak costs the same.  I bought 4 bags to try out.  I’ve heard good things.
