Huh o_O I honestly don't get there often because Lowe's is 10 mins away and Home Cheapo is 35 mins away.
Thanks for the heads up Johnny!

Lol ....Home Depot is 1 block from me ..haha and this place that sells great bulk meat is next to it.

I got some serious pork to smoke now.. 2 butts 9.5 lbs each.

Just checked my lowe's account and last time I stocked up on RO it was on sale for $3.99.Down to 4 bags now.Hope to see that price again shortly but from what I understand my new WSM is a miser on fuel.But i'm gonna be a burnin' her....

I'm happy to see RO Ridge converts!

Thanksgiving will be the last charcoal sale of the year. I did not find RO Ridge on sale for Labor Day, and unfortunately we don't have an Academy Sports here in California.

I've got enough Ridge to last me through to next Spring, but if I see it on sale at $4 a bag at Lowes, I'll top off my supply. If I run low in the Spring, I've got three HDs within ten minutes of my house to pick up some Embers.

Been using it since the mid 90's.KBB is a last ditch thing for me and i'm not paying $10-12 for Stubbs either.The hardware stores have bee fickle around here in years past as in not stocking charcoal year round one year and the next year they do and so on.
Do they normally carry charcoal year round out there?

 

[motocrash]

Hey,have either of you or anybody else for that matter tried the Chefs Select RO ?

 

[noboundaries]

Here in California I can get charcoal year round at HD, Lowes, and Wal-Mart. Grocery stores cut back their inventory after Labor Day but usually still have something on hand year-round.

The off-season prices are full price though. Ridge, Embers, and Winco brand, all RO Ridge briquettes, run 32-39 cents/lb off season, not a whole lot more than their 26 cents/lb sale price.

Personally no, but I understand it is merely a 30% larger Ridge briquette.

 

[motocrash]

You should put your PHD in Charcoalology skills to it and see if the briquette size makes a difference ;)
Your thread was good.

My last smoke with KBB had a lighter fluid taste! I've never used the stuff in my smoker, could it be the charcoal?

Mike

 

[motocrash]

How'd you light it?

 

[mike5051]

A chimney with newspaper. I've done this for years, but my ribs last week had a lighter fluid taste.

[motocrash]

Good looking meat johnny and cheap.

 

[motocrash]

Mike,unless you used some funky munky, chinese colored ink newspaper what else could it be....maybe they slipped you some match light?
Does the charcoal smell unlit?
