It’s pretty subjective, but yes, it is comparable to Kingsford in quality and performance.   Fine for my routine grilling.

Central Indiana.   Listed on the Lowes website with locations/quantities.  I checked out of state and it’s the same deal.  Chicagoland, for example.

I thought those were bags of lump in your trunk at first, I almost told the kid to get his coat back on! Lol. I might still go grab some bags, I like using it in the chimney better than lump

It’s good to stock up on 8-12 bags when it’s on sale. That’s about all I want to store.

I just picked up a bag of kamado big block at Costco to try out.

I really enjoyed the Kamado big block and plan on buying some, I got my first bag as a gift
Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

If you haven't used this charcoal before, I'd recommend trying 1 bag of it before you go buy a bunch. I bought 4 bags on sale at Labor Day, and personally I think it's total crap. No offense to anyone who is a fan of it. If anyone in StL likes it, I'd be happy for someone to come take these remaining 3.5 bags off my hands.

It doesn't burn very hot, or for very long, produces tons of ash, only burns up about 2/3 of the briquette before tons of thick ash snuffs it out. The briquettes are very small, but even when accounting for their small size, they seem to put out very little heat per briquette. I mainly use briquettes when doing the snake method, and it is terrible for that.

As you can tell, I would not recommend it not matter how cheap they're selling it for. Just my 2 cents.

ISO: Dark red/crimson mist kettle (cooker condition). 18" preferred, but a 22" would be awesome too.

Not my experience with RO red bag but I’ll say their all natural briquettes sold at Walmart are amazing.
