    Menard's has bags of Royal Oak Steakhouse (green bags) Lump on sale for about $4/bag. Not the best stuff, but a good price.

    Royal Oak - Red Bag

    Same here. A couple weeks ago it was half a pallet, but yesterday there was a full pallet there. Otherwise, it is wall to wall Kingsford.

    Royal Oak - Red Bag

    Love this stuff, but it looks like the WalMart in Niles might be phasing it out. Stopped in last weekend to stock up, and none was on the sales floor. I found about half a pallet hidden by the potting soil and fertilizer. Looks like I will have to find a new source. I like buying the 40...

    Just found out about AI Firewood. I gave them a call yesterday, and the lump they sell is from Struemph Charcoal Works, who make Fire King. Fire King got just an OK review, but is rated VERY HIGHLY by readers of Nake Whiz. $25/40 lb bag, which is a little more than Berger Bros, but the more...

    WSM - I've Joined the Cult

    First smoke on Sunday... Did a pork butt, turkey breast (for chili), spares and tips, and some sausage. I had already pulled the turkey and pork off the cooker before I took this photo. 11 hours of cook time off of one load of Royal Oak lump and apple wood chunks. I love this thing.

    First Run on the WSM

    Broke mine in yesterday, and I didn't know what to do with myself. I would pop my head out the back door every hour or so, but aside from a couple vent adjustments towards the end of my cook, I never touched it.

    wsm 18.5

    Wife got me an 18.5 WSM a couple weeks ago for an anniversary gift, and I finally got to put it to use yesterday. Did one pork butt, one turkey breast, one slab of spares + tips, and two large fresh polish sausage links on one load of Royal Oak lump & apple wood chunks. (11 hours all together)...
