ENDED, Closing thread: Kingsford charcoal Labor Day sale is on, Home Depot & Lowe's, 50% off!

[Huskee]

Yessir, $9.88 for twin 20s. Check www.homedepot.com > kingsford for your areas...

[The Burn]

Bingo! In the local HD ad on the website - starting today - twin 20s for $9.88 with a limit of 10. Only until 9/1 or until supplies run out. What perfect timing as my Performer Silver will be delivered tomorrow. I'm headed to HD shortly.

How big a trash can do I need for 200 lbs of charcoal?

[Jon Solberg]

Good call!

[David Parrish]

It's actually 400 lbs if you buy the limit

[The Burn]

Yeah, I realized that after posting. In the end I bought 6 twin packs or 240 lbs & a 45 gallon trash bin. 7 bags/140 lbs fit, so I've got 5 bags hanging out in the garage. Wish I had more room to store them as charcoal has a virtually indefinite shelf life if kept dry, and you can't go wrong with half price.

[Ernest]

I still have all my 10 blue bag Kingsford from Memorial day. I'm always reaching out for competition kingsford.

[pizza67]

Both Home Depot and Lowe's have it advertised here for the same price, $9.88.

[Jon Solberg]

Yes and you can get 10 from HD 2 at Lowes.

[Huskee]

I just bought the 10 bundles (20 total) and came back in and got another 4. 28 bags total, 560lbs.
I had 4 bags left from the Mem. Day sale when I bought 7 twin bundles. Now I have 30 bags (600lbs) to last through the winter until next Mem Day.

EDIT 32 bags, math wasn't my major

[Jon Solberg]

I just did inventory, I'm at 320lbs now. (I hit the 7/4 sale) I need 8 more 2 packs. Thats said I may as well go 10.

There's 128 left in my local store right now so I grab it in the am.

[Huskee]

My current stash

[Jon Solberg]

If the 80's call looking for this don't tell em I got it K?

[The Burn]

So the tarp keeps them dry enough or is also covered otherwise? I can't imagine being able to keep them dry outside through some of the Pennsylvania seasons.

[Huskee]

For the most part, plus they have 75% of the bundle covered in plastic. I have it tucked pretty good for watershed.

[David Parrish]

There was a time I'd think that much charcoal in a backyard looked like the work of a crazy person. Now it just seems normal. Did I cross a line and not realize it?

[Jon Solberg]

Yes and it was the right line : )

[Jon Solberg]

Add this to me current supply and I should be good to go.

[Ozric]

The sale hit HD here in Flagstaff yesterday. I stopped by in the morning to pick up my limit and they were already down to one bag, not even one bundle.

Said 'f' it, and bought a bunch of Royal Oak lump (U.S.-made). Oh, well.

[Huskee]

That stinks, must be a popular sale in your area. There were only maybe 20 bundles left after I loaded up my 14. And this was the first day of the sale...

[SurfsUp]

Roger that... just grabbed another 200 lbs That gets a PBC cook down to $2

[Papa Bob]

bought 15 bales last sale on Memorial Day

[bbantel]

Well, I guess I know what I'm doing today, local HD has 56 left. I think I still have 6 bags of Royal Oak lump, and 140lb of Kingsford Blue Bag in my inventory, but there is no such thing as too much charcoal!

[BruceB]

The old PowerStroke is starting to feel it, I just keep adding another 80 lbs every time I go near Lowes. I'm in a no man's land between HDs, but Lowes is conveniently close. I still haven't figured out where it's all going to go
