Royal Oak Charcoal

[Whiskeyman53]

Just used RO today for the first time on a marinated flank steak in a kettle, burned for 20 minutes in a full chimney before they ashed over. Once in the grill they burned extremely hot with a clean natural smell, minimal flare -up and constant red hot glow. I use RO lump always and now I will be also using their briquettes as well.

Great to hear that it worked out for you. Lets see some pics of that steak!

Not as good as the deal you found but my local grocer currently has the 15.4 lb bags for $4.99 as compared to $13.99 for 16 lb bags of Kingsford. My Lowe's currently has the 15.4 lb bag of RO listed for $6.99. I grew up with dad using Royal Oak and he never had problems with it so I've been buying a couple of bags every time I go to the store. I haven't used briquettes for years - just lump charcoal in the kamado - but I'm now using the briquettes in my new PK grill.
