Is that burnt wood scrap?

I doubt it's like that nasty Cowboy Lump Crapola. According to
the description:

"20 LB Lake Shore Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal, 100% Real
Hardwood, No Fillers Or Additives, Made From Renewable Natural
Resources, Easy Lighting, No Starting Fluids Needed, Heat Heat
Value, Provides A Delicious Natural Harwood Flavor."


I got some Truevalue lump a couple years back, but I wasn't too happy
with it. It had mostly smaller pieces and quite a bit was tiny unusable
bits. Now, that could have just been the particular bag I got. As I
recall, it seemed to be be made of lumber scraps, but I'm not sure now.

I'm currently using the 20# box I bought from Chigger Creek, pretty good
stuff. The only problem is that I had it shipped, so the cost was about
double.

I've never used the Chigger Creek lump, but I've heard it is real
good. For my money, though, I use Maple Leaf and it is the best lump
I've ever used. No scrap, very little ash and long burning. It's a
little pricy but, as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for".

I've been trying to find one of the better quality lumps in St. Louis.
You can easily find repackaged Cowboy, and the True Value I mentioned
before. Getting bulky items shipped is fairly cost prohibitive, the
Chigger Creek wasn't too bad because they are in central MO.
