I want to share a good deal that I found at my local Walmart this weekend. I just bought a 30 lb. bag of lump charcoal for $9.99! The name of the charcoal is "Western". I cooked with it last night and the results were in my opinion excellent. The chunks are medium in size, with some large, and very little small chunks mixed in...They started up easy and burnt quite well with decent controllable heat. Enjoy!:beers:
Great to hear, I also bought some but haven’t tried it yet, but will on Mother’s Day.
I liked it so much I returned to Wallyworld today to get more long before I will run out as it is 30lbs worth...They are sold out already!!!:thumbsdown1:
7.88 for 2 15lb bags at Walmart
I just picked up a 30lb bag myself plus I grabbed a BB mesquite bag to try.
I picked up a couple bags a couple weeks ago.
Thanks for the heads, I went and checked it out and bought 6 bags. Burns nice.
Thanks I need some more :thumb up2:
I seen a post in one of my big green egg sites...his wal mart store had it marked down to 5$ from 9.98...Keep an Eye out lumpers...If I see it at 5$ I'm buying the pallet
Picked up a bag, gonna try it. Usually buy Kingsford on Memorial Weekend, Lowes and Home Depot have 20 pound double bags for 9.99.
Woo, that stuff burns hot. Cooked some thin cut pork chops in 5 minutes. I thought it would make more wood smoke flavor than it did. Reckon I'll buy a few bags while its on sale anyway.
Lowes had I think 30lb bags of Kingsford for 9.99 a bag I think. I don't think it was lump though.
I used Kingsford for years. They have some other brand in a red and black bag that is half Kingsford's price and works better IMHO. It's kinda shaped like a dog bone. I don't miss Kingsford. If you want smoke flavor throw a chunk of hardwood in and after it starts burning, blow it out and kick it over to the side away from the coals.
I'm using the same lump that just did 21hr brisket @225 and then threw a whole bologna log on for 3 hour after and finished with 400° sear on the bologna slices. Making hamburgers tonight, raised grate 400° with no extra added lump
Glad you like it Clif....My Walmart has not had it in back in stock since my initial purchase...:thumbsdown1:

Kingsford is all filler and chemicals. All it does is make too damn much ash. Quit that crap years ago
