I bought 2 bags of the Kingsford pellets last weekend. Paid $11.98/bag for 10 lbs. Which I think is expensive compared to 20# of Bear Mtn. for $10.49. The pellets are VERY short (but consistent in length). Have not tried smoking with them yet. Will begin that this weekend or next week when I am retired. If you think the Lowe's price is high, check out their pellets on Amazon! The shipping alone is over $18!
