I've burned a few bags of the FOGO, it's quality stuff: clean, no foreign objects, I've never seen any un-carbonized pieces and it burns well. The Super Premium is almost all large chunks, the Premium in the 17.6 lb. bag is more medium-to-small pieces. It's all straight from the tree, no lumber scraps.
NakedWhiz says it doesn't get as hot as some, I never tried a comparison. His review was of the Premium, there are very few small-medium pieces in the Super Premium. I'm pretty happy with it.
I'll probably order some more once I go through the 5 boxes of KK Coffee Char that I got with the cooker. And the box of CharBroil Black Diamond I picked up at the local Ace on a whim...
A lot of the members on the KK forum use Royal Oak lump, they say good things about it. And you can get it just about anywhere.
I've grown to like Rockwood for chicken and pork. Not so much for Brisket. I really am intrigued with this "oak" flavor profile. Add a little post oak chunks and I'm set. I don't mind spending money on quality lump. I cook 1 brisket every 6 weeks. The money I save for Costco prime brisket helps in the long run. Thank you for posting.
