Stocked up

[Joel Goodwin]

Stocked up for the rest of the year....yep, 480lbs. Love the sale every year!!

 

[Bob Mann]

Nice! I grabbed a few bags, nothing like your pile

 

[Jim Lampe]

Joel, how long do you suppose that'll last ya?
24 Twenty pound bags...

I have 20 fifteen pound bags from the Walmart sale and about 55 thirteen-point9 pound bags from Home Depot's sale weeks before Walmart's...
Someone told me i got enough to last until the summer of 2013.
butt you never know.

 

[Len Dennis]

I'm embarassed.

Without word of a lie, that much fuel would last me 20 years.

 

[Jim Lampe]

Len, i average 10 to 15 pounds of charcoal each week.

 

[Mike Coffman]

I bought quite a few at Lowes this past weekend at $9.99 for double 20's. Walmart and HD were out of stock as usual.

And I too use between 10 and 15 pounds of charcoal a week, some weeks more, some a little less.

 

[Rolf Jacobsen]

I understand............

 

[Ray Crick]

Joel,

Do you have a fork lift truck at home? How did you manage to get the pallet moved around? Just curious.

Ray

 

[Dave K]

[Wolgast]

[Len Dennis]

Embarrassed? Did I say embarrassed?

I hang my head in shame.

I need to change my ways

Course, I only use (briqs) for the smoker. I use gas otherwise (hey, it's still a weber).

 

[Lew]

I used 320 lb last year. After the sales, I've got 320 lb in the garage not counting a few bags of lump. Should be just about right.

 

[Bry H]

Joel, where did you get your supply at? I noticed that HD did not have their sale on 2x20 but instead on 2x13.9

 

[Timothy Hoffman]

I've stopped keeping track of how much I use. One year I had a spread sheet going and from April 1st until June 30th I used over 400 pounds. Right now the bunker has 17 bags of 16.6 pound and 8 bags of 13.9 pound Kingsford along with 3 10 pound of lump.

 

[Joel Goodwin]

This pile is the result of the Memorial Day sale at Lowes. 24 20lb bags. I go stock up every year. This year Lowes had the better deal in my opinion.

Jim, 400lbs from last year lasted almost a year. Im hoping to get about the same out of this pile...BUT...I didnt have my WSM last year at this time either!

Ray, Unfortunately I do not have a forklift...I asked the guys at Home Depot last year if they had an extra pallet. They were nice enough to give me one. I just load up the charcoal and move it from the back of my truck to my basement via a wheel barrell. took me 5 trips this year...

HOpefully I'll have some shots of some of this charcoal in action soon!

[Mike Freel]

I got 4 of the twin packs from HD. I figure that, plus my 100lbs of reserve stock should get me to July 4th and he next sale.

[Phil Perrin]

While not as big as that stack,I have more charcoal on hand right now than I normally do. A local grocery store had the 16lb bags on sale for $4.50 a bag,limit 2 bags. I bought my 2 and used a friends loyalty card to get 2 more. Plus,I went to Lowes and got a twin 20 Lb-er for $9.99. I cooked a butt and a brisket for smoke day,and I cooked 5 butts for our best friends youngest daughter wedding last weekend(she requested Phil-b-cue!). I still have 4 1/2 bags I think. Still,a lot more than I usually keep on hand!

 

[Ray Crick]

Ray, Unfortunately I do not have a forklift...

Bummer!

 

[JohnnyS]

I, too, understand...

This is for slow cooks... I have roughly the same amount of lump too for grilling

 

[Dave O]

Johnny where did you get the Stubb's from.
