I haven't used BGE lump in several years and have never tried Nature-Glo. Has anyone seen trash in them, in the last 6 months?

Steve, It has some distinct smell and light flavors, but nothing to fear or nothing to compare to using full, uncharred misquite wood if you know what I mean. I will say it is crackly (is that a word?) and sparky, but I happen to like it. when you cover it, it will stop and personally I find the smell better then anything i've tried. (Ihavn't tried a lot of brands) Its a nice hot fire but may not last as long as lets say Royal Oak. probably close to a tie. give it a shot if possible.

Wow, I'll have to check that out!! Does the mesq give off any flavors to what you're cooking? I do alot of chicken and some fish, so I don't want too strong of smoke flavor coming out of the coals.
Thanks,

I've NEVER experienced any off flavors from mesquite. Just don't be alarmed that hardwood throws a lot more sparks than briquettes. Your flavoring will come from whatever wood chunks you choose to utilize. BTW, you're in my neighborhood, so I expect a call when you get around to doing something tasty. Your nearest C&C store is at Southcenter.

Thanks for the great info Ray.
I think I'll check out the spot in Pottstown and then head to fred's to check out some of his other merchandise. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yeah, Roller Mills is actually very close to the exit off 422. It's a straight up smaller operation than Brown's - which is probably larger and a better setting, but hey you're just picking up charcoal, right?
Glad to help!

Those of you who have noted problems with RO lump lately:
Check the whiz's site - apparently, there are several versions of R.O. lump. Some were rated quite high, while some were pretty low. Be sure of which one you're getting.
I picked-up a few bags of R.O. (US-made) lump from Menard's, and it has been working very well for me so far.

This was posted over in the trading post section as well, but it is such a deal that I'll mention it here. Costco has 20# bags (well 2 10# bags wrapped) for $3.97. This is the Original Charcoal lump, which I think works very well.
I just picked up 400 pounds, so I guess I'll be cooking pretty much exclusively on lump for the rest of the year.

I got a similar, though less positive, reaction when I told my wife I might go pick up another few hundred pounds today!

Killer Deal, Pat. If I remember correctly, any Costco item priced $x.97 is a closeout item. Nice score!
