Hey, it was a picture of text! ;-)

I feel much better now

Well, I will thank you for saving me the trouble of typing out the lable. I
had just gone out to get one and type it out when I saw your post.

FWIW: I went in for three bags. The outfit (Original Charcoal Co.
www.originalcharcoal.com) just hooked up with HD.

just bought 40 bags---good stuff for the price!! Sometimes the consistency
of briq. is darn nice in the cooker

My local HD (Fairfield, CA) has these now, 20lbs for $4.99
(sitting next to Kingsford briquettes, 42lbs for $12 and change).

One the Original Charcoal Co. bag, it says that the briquettes
are made from hardwood lump and yucca starch. These, in fact,
appear to be 100% vegetable lump-based briquettes, something
I'd only read about before and have wanted to try since.

The bag claims it's equivalent to 34lbs of "coal dust"
briquettes, probably because of the lack of uncombustable
filler. I bought 4 bags to test for both grilling and
smoking, I'll report back.

I like big pieces of lump for long cooks, but there's something
nice about being able to toss fuel in and have it catch fire
pretty quickly like the smaller briquettes ought to.

Go back and get more. It's the best briquettes I've ever seen/used. Better
even than Royal Oak briquettes.
In my Stump's the ash from 20 pounds is about the same as the ash from lump
charcoal.
I bought 25 bags @ the sale price last weekend. I'll be filling up my
storage area.

Just based on grilling some salmon and veggies for dinner
tonight, I have to agree, this is excellent stuff. It cooks
like lump, leaves about the same (small) amount of ash that
lump does. I will have to get some more; I'm going to try
using it in the offset for ribs this week.

Lucky you. I went to my local HD yesterday and saw two bags. There
was no price so I asked. I was told they were from the holiday
promotion and had been discontinued. These were the last two bags and
they me both for $1.00.

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.

Like I said, it's briquettes. It's good briquettes, though. Very little
ash, slightly more than the same weight of lump. Burns clean, with a slight
smoke smell, but a good taste on the food.

Two Home Despots around here are out. I need to check on a couple more 'til
I run out of storage space, too.

24 + hours on 20 pounds in my Stump's @ 250 to 350 with this stuff

Updatin' an old thread here - I just bought a couple bags at 4.99ea in
Salem MA. Seems like they had a lot of the stuff.
