Have You Used Black Diamond "Charwood"???

[Willy]

At Ace yesterday, I noticed they had a new (to me) product--Black Diamond "Charwood". The box had no weight specified, but I'd guess it was about 10-12 pounds. The box claimed you'd save hundreds of $$ each year, that the chunks were very uniform with minimal dust, and that each grill load of 0.24 cubic feet was reusable for up to five "quick grills". I think it also cures toothaches and makes underarm odors go away. Anyway, for $20 a box, I figured I'd ask the AR gang about it before I bought any.

I saw that too. Will be curious to see what others think. I know nothing about Black Diamond.

A quick Google revealed this
Lower left, there is a comparison chart fer this product, by volume vs lump, or briquettes, by weight.
I hope this is of some assistance...
I have not tried this product.

Yeah, that chart, or a similar one, is on the box. Not sure I trust the BD marketing folks that much! lol

[Mr. Bones]

Heartily Agree!!! Willy !
Their site makes many claims. As do all sales-oriented sites.
Th' veracity of any such claim is always suspect, to me, until proven valid.

@Mr. Bones: A gal I worked with about 25 years ago got sucked into being a seller of aloe products--kind of an Amway operation. Anyway, the product lit promised aloe would make you skinny if you were fat, gain weight if you were skinny, cure you skin ailments, help with digestion, aid your love life,...I forget the many other wonders attributed to aloe.

I do think aloe is useful for minor burns and it's a nice looking yard plant.
