Kingsford is still 2 18lb bags for 19.99. .56 per lb. Royal Oak is a 15.4lb bag for 4.99 or .32 per lb. Any reason not to go with the Royal Oak rather than waiting until the Kingsford is 2 18/b for 9.99 or .28 per lb. I have no experience with using Royal Oak.

I'm cooking as I type this with some Royal Oak briquettes - I bought one of those $5 15lb bags recently just to try it. It definitely throws off sparks and does not last as long as some other brands I've tried, and I have read stories on here about debris other than charcoal being in the bag. However, the price is certainly right, and I'm gonna use this bag up until I get the KBB on sale again.

Well, I definitely think the Royal Oak briquettes seem more cheaply made and crumbly looking than other charcoal I’ve used, but I got a couple of hours of cooking time on the Performer using two of the Weber charcoal baskets full. So in a pinch I’ll consider buying it again. Once this bag is gone I’m testing Stubbs, then back to KBB. I really like the Weber charcoal but the local stores aren’t putting it out. Lowe’s has 50-60 bags on a pellet up high and I don’t feel like begging someone to bring it down for me while I wait. Guess I could buy the entire pallet! Haha.

I did a test run on the RO a couple weeks ago. I think it’s in the fuel section. I found the flavor was good, price was good had average ash but it burnt pretty fast. I figure for anything cooked hot and fast or low and slow less than 6 hours it worth a look.

Thanks for you comments. As jfmorris commented, I think the price is right to give it a try until KBB goes back on sale. Will probably stick to the kettle with it (not the Backwoods). Thanks again for your insights.
