Thanks for the heads up guys. I hit my local HD this morning and copped
ten bags @$4.99. They have at least the better part of a pallet left. I'm
thinking of going back for another ten this afternoon. $53.40 with tax for
200/lbs or 26.7¢/lb. There is some Kingsford lump locally for 53¢/lb so
this deal is hard to beat if it isn't some real poor shit.
