Does anybody know? It's made in Canada and apparently is composed of maple, beech, and yellow birch woods so I'm wondering if it's rebadged Maple Leaf lump charcoal.

Pretty good price actually. Have you tried it yet? How much uncarbonized material was there?
I haven't tried it yet. The bag I bought today came about from a snafu at Canadian Tire. I went in to buy a gazebo (couldn't find the model the neighbour bought) but saw that Royal Oak lump was on sale for 21% off, $14.99 instead of $17.99, so I bought three. The grand total seemed a bit high so I checked over the receipt when I got home and that's when I discovered that the charcoal was all full price. Back to the store I go with the receipt and visit the customer service desk and that's when I discovered someone got cute with the charcoal display and put the sale card for the Master Chef lump 8 Kg bags under the 8 Kg bags of Royal Oak. One of the sales staff brought a bag of the Master Chef store up to the customer service counter while this was being investigated. Anyways, I decided what the heck, I'll buy a bag and try it but I haven't had a chance yet.
