Fred's charcoal briquettes
- Thread starter Al Smith
- Start date
Al - reminds me of my dad's favorite charcoal "Ole Diz." It used to be $1.49 per 9 lb bag or something ridiculous like that.
My dad is now 87 and I went to the farm to cook for him last weekend, and for sentimental reasons, I bought a bag of Ole Diz (has a picture of Dizzy Dean on the bag) and took it to cook on.
It was actually danged good charcoal, despite the fact that it has gone up to about $5.00 per 9 lb bag.
For the price, buy a bag of Ole Fred's and give it a shot! Can't produce any more ash than the Walmart that I've been burning!

that isn't that cheap a price. has to be great stuff to justify that price.
Pat, seems like I vaguely remember seeing Ole Diz when I was a kid. Don't see it here in Georgia now.
This Fred's charcoal at $3.49/9lb($7.00/18lbs) is kinda cheap. They have two full pallets sitting at the front door, which says they are trying to move it. I think I'll try a bag.

For cheap charcoal, I usually can get royal oak briquettes for $4 / 18 # bag. The last sale they went up to $4.44, which is still decent.
