Well I was inspired by Capt Jack & Smoke & I've filled my larder chuck full !
21 large bags of charcoal bout 50/50 between Kingsford & rebranded Royal Oak, just about 400 lbs!!
Sent an E-Mail to the boys at LostArrow about the Lowes sale & expect them to show with  80 lbs apiece
That'll be about 500lbs for hunt camp

Did you get that brand at Lowes?

No at Academy Sports.
I'm close to one but some LA members aren't .
Everyone is close to a lowes.

Good to see ya stocked up for the winter LA. I am waiting for Home Depot to announce their Kingsford price before I dive back in....

After the Labor Day sales, they will have limited quantities until next Spring.  Guess they figger nobody cooks out in the Winter.  Itis scarce and the price is awful  in December thru April.

Maybe I'd better check MY stash again.

This situation is worse in Minnesota. Some stores don't carry anything in the winter

I tried the Outdoor Gourmet and found it to be extremely smoky tasting. Cooked some burgers and they tasted like they had been in mesquite smoke for several hours. The wife did not like it at all.

I thought you had a semi-truck dropping off a trailer in your side yard

I thought I would give HD a chance before I drain Lowes inventory........

SMOKE...I remember seein' pics a couple of years ago of your huge stash of charcoal and wonderin' why anybody would need more than just a couple of bags on hand.  WOW...how my perspective has changed!  After almost running out last year, and finding myself using even more charcoal this year, I'm gonna be that little squirrel LostArrow talks about.  Deb may not understand right now, but she will be thankin' me in the dead of winter - as dead as winter gets in middle Georgia - when I'm still able to put the food on the grill for her.  I just HOPE she doesn't look in the out house (what we call our storage building).

That big stack is long gone. I can actually see the door that leads into one of the back bedrooms and the concrete steps..........that will all change this weekend

I haven't noticed it any more smoky flavored than Kingsford?

the briquettes are a little smaller and don't last as long
but that doesn't affect most of my cooks

if I wasn't such a tite wad I'd only burn Stubbs, but it's $8 a bag
and I just can't pass up $3 a bag coal

There are people who say they can taste the difference in flavors between brands of charcoal  & between lump & briquittes!!!!
I can't !
After cooking we are so desensitized to the smoke flavor I've learned I can't trust my taste buds at the end of a cook!
