Didn't exactly need any charcoal.....but I decided to stash 5 bags anyway.

Hard to pass up a solid deal on something I now use quite often.

Thanks for the heads up.

I was on my last of 15 bags of Weber charcoal bought at the huge Home Depot clearance back in February...had to stock up yesterday.

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

The Double Pack "Professional" at Walmart is good stuff. I like the All Natural better though. The All Natural is what I use for competition.

Same here...seemed weird to pay $5 for the Royal Oak when those bags of Weber were something like $2 on clearance last year!

Thanks for the RO heads up. I've never used it though. Does anyone know where it's made?

The company is based in Georgia.  Not sure if there production is also there.

A ton of Royal Oak is produced in the Missouri Ozarks...I have family in the lumber industry down there who sell to facilities in Salem and West Plains, MO. 

Also, in case you didn't know, Missouri is the number one producer of charcoal in the US.  I have other family members who live in Belle, MO...where Kingsford's main plant is.  Harry Soo did a visit there a while back.

Thanks! Didn't know the history of Kingsford -  I didn't know about Harry's blog either.

Never used royal oak before, does it compare in quality to kingsford?

IMO, head and shoulders above kingsford.

Never used RO before, but at that price, I'm happy to give it a go!
