Stubbs or RO Chef Select

Cooking a butt this weekend and want to know your opinions.
I normally use Stubbs for my long smokes, but I moved since my last cook and to get Stubbs its kind of a drive.
The butcher that I get all my meat from sells RO Chef Select, and I have to pick up the butt from there later today.
Should I save a few gallons of $4.25 gas and use RO, or just go with what I'm used to?
I use a pit master IQ if that makes a difference.
Thanks for the help!
 
I have used both and am currently using the RO Chef Select and I like it a lot, long burns, low ash. So, save yourself the money and get the RO. IMHO
 
Mike I use the regular red bag RO briqs and used a dozen bags of the Stubbs las yr. I noticed no difference between the two (besides price), but never came across the "Chef Select" is that the same as the restaurant bags of RO sold at GFS?

Tim, the Royal Oak Chef Select is the charcoal that is sold through the " do it best " hardware stores chain. It is sold in 40lb bags for $18 bucks or so.
 
Thanks Bruce.
I'll check it out, most of the DIB stores closed down by me, the closest ship to store is about 18 miles in Downers Grove. I was hoping that it was the same as the one GFS carries as that's only a few miles down the road.
