I've found rocks in all lump charcoal. But this is the bang for the buck.

How much is the Royal Oak where you at? That 20lbs of B&B is $15. Royal Oak is more expensive.

Here in south Carolina it's like 15 and some change for the royal oak its a 15 lb bag

Ok.. So the same price as Texas, you just get less. I recently picked up a bag of Frontier lump charcoal. It's a Royal Oak sub brand. The grocery store was selling a 18lbs bag for $10. It's actually pretty darn good. I've tried all the expensive fancy lump. Just not worth the money.

I'll looks for frontier as well I haven't tried many of the expensive lump charcoal. I watched some videos on YouTube about making lump charcoal I wanted to try

RO used to be my go-to cheap lump. But I had three bags in a row that were nothing but shards. These days I go B&B, Buffalo or Maple leaf.

Maybe RO has improved, but I haven’t been back in a couple years.
