Grill-It Brand charcoal at Target?

[Akio Stribling]

I spotted this stuff yesterday. It comes in 18lb grey bags for $4.99 a bag (three dollars cheaper than the equivalent amount of Kingsford). The bag said it was "Manufactured exclusively for Target in Minnesota." The picture on the bag showed what looked like old style Kingsford, minus the "flame grooves." I'm down to my last two bags of Rancher, so I might have to pick some up. Has anyone tried it yet for low-and-slow?

I saw this too, I look forward to seeing if anyone had used it.

I was curious when I saw it at Target so I picked up a bag. Fired up a chimney and it had a funky smell (like a cheap cigar) when it was firing up. I didn't want to take a chance in ruining my nice salmon fillet, so I dumped the chimney in my firepit. I did notice that I lit fairly quick.

I'll stick with K and Lazzari lump which is pretty much all I can get around here. Hopefully Costco will carry lump again this summer!
