The ACE here in Fresno is selling the Royal Oak at that price. Bought a bag just to try out.

I heard that R O makes ACE briquets. I bought a few bags a couple of weeks ago for $5.69 for an 18lb bag. They also have Cowboy Charcoal for $11 for a 20lb bag. That's delivered to their store.

Ed, is that lump or briquettes? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
That would be Briquettes. Larry if you want me to pick you up some, email me and I'll take care of it. I tried to call you yesterday.

kingsford is the last stuff i would use. not happy at all with the stuff last time i used it.
i'll pay more for something that has quality.

The ACE charcoal thread was started because many do not like to use Kingsford. Many here will post when a more desirerable Briq charcoal goes on sale like RO, Rancher, ACE. Speaking for myself I can not stand the smell of Kingsord burning. Don't like and don't/won't use it unless it's my only choice. Even then I'd prob just wait till I get something other than Kingsford, but that's just me. My WSM my choice.
I mainly use lump, my prefered charcoal of choice.
All the hype about others had created a bit a "want to try" feeling... So guess I am out to Ace this weekend. Not to mention I am low on coals anyway so I couldn't think of a better time to try something new.
Don't get me wrong I am not knocking others brands, I am the last that could I haven't tried them.

I think ACE charcoal briquettes are made by Royal Oak, are they the exact same, as Royal Oak, that I don't know.
Just bought a couple of bags, of Royal Oak, charcoal briquettes at ACE hardware, for the same price as the ACE Brand, sale price $4.99/18 lbs. clerk said they were substituting Royal Oak for the Ace Brand, Is there any difference ??

Were you at the new Ace on the Fig Garden loop? I was there today and bought four bags too, guy told me a story about another guy who had bought 4 bags yesterday. It was funny, he acted like buying 4 bags was odd. Mentioned to him that I had bought about 1/2 a pallet of Rancher when HD had it on sale for $2.99 and that Ed C. and I were going in on a pallet of Rancher in the next few weeks.
Looking forward to trying this stuff, not a huge Kingsford fan either. After using Rancher it's hard to go back to that stuff, hopefully the rumors are accurate that this stuff is similar to Rancher. This way I can grill with RO and smoke with my Rancher.
