Ran across this interesting youtube video comparing 6 brands of lump charcoal:

nakedwhiz.com has run test on just about every lump brand and has evaluated them in four categories.

I am a royal oak user. I buy the 30lb bags as opposed to the 15 due to the better price. I have a had a few bad run-ins with the royal oak, I found a large lava rock inside the bag that had I merely been dumping it, it would have damaged the Smoker. But, all in all, I like it,

I haven't used Royal Oak lump but just bought two bags of RO briquettes at the local store. They had 16 lb bags of Kingsford Original for $13, and 15.4 lb bags of Royal Oak Classic on sale for $5.99 (regular $8.39). No brainer.

Until I bought my PK grill a couple of months ago I rarely used briquettes.

I always use either B&B Lump or FOGO. Life is too short of those red bags.
