I'm in SoCal. The local BevMo has Lazzari mesquite lump for
about the
same price. It's pretty good, and about the cheapest I can
find around
here.


Thanks for the tip. I'll check bevmo. I have only
found the kingsford and Cowboy stuff around here but I
didn't know it was crap. Looking forward to using it.

When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or person,
don't be surprised if they learn their lesson.

If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every
now and then to make sure it's still there.

If you find yourself in a hole the first thing to do is stop
diggin'.

Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

BevMo also sells boxes of "firewood" which consists of split almond
logs and some pine kindling. I've bought these in the past, discarded
the pine and cut the almond into chunks and used them in the smoker.
Almond wood smoke works well with just about everything.

I'm in SoCal, too. I buy 40 lb sacks of generic Mexican mesquite lump at
Smart & Final. Don't remember the cost, but it works well for me.

37-1/2¢/lb is a pretty good price for lump anywhere. Lots of
folks are paying up to 70¢/lb.

Well, I kinda bragging actually............... bg. It's one of the
few things in Norcal cheaper than what most pay around the country.

In regards to BEVMO, since they already order from Lazzari, try and
get your local manager to carry the oak. You'll love it.

Lazzari Charcoal is used by Chez Panise, the restaurant that created
"California Cuisine" and created "gourmet pizza" has always used Lazzari. I
use it too. It burns hot and fast, like most "lump" so you have to tend it
more. Having said all that Lazzari is an excellent product.

You've moved away from our fair climes and moved to a warmer climate
so you can perfect your garage brining? Awsome! Best of luck to you.
Please let us know how that goes mmkay?

Ask the manager to order some of the oak. You'll be glad you did.

Walmart seems to almost always have Royal Oak lump. At least in
"grilling season"--which of course in S Cal is all year.

I mail order mine. A little pricey, but very good stuff.
