I was there this morning and saw the sale so I picked up 4 more bags. I think I have about 10 bags now.

Planning on making a run to Home depot or lowes today or tomorrow for some things I need, so I'll try to remember to pick some up. Thanks for the heads up Jim.
 
Thanks Jim !! picked up 4 bags today (two packs).

a few years ago, weren't these actual 20 pound bags ??
LOL drop a few ounces for the same price can mean
3.7 million $$ in profits for a big company like Kingsford.
Sort of like the mayonnaise jar - put a dimple on the bottom
that shorts out two ounces - - - the outside jar is still the same size
and the unsuspecting consumer still pays the same price for less product.

yes they used to be actual 20 lb bags

now they are actual 18.6 lb bags.

Are they the same price?

Cant say I remember...I dont buy KBB anyway
 
Jim - the market is so tough nowadays that companies
are struggling to come up with new ways to get the
All Mighty consumer dollar !!

My grocery store had the same deal - but - looking closely
at the package weight, it was like 16.5 pounds priced at
the local 18 pound bag sales going on.

I swear, you have to have a calculator with you all the time
to decipher the price per ounce on most products now.

but still, I bought another 4 bags at Lowe's !!!! stocked up now.

I still can't make myself use briquettes. I always use lump charcoal

I like Royal Oak lump for most cooks. Little ash and it burns hotter than other charcoal. But for longer cooks I've been liking Stubb's all natural briquettes. Very little ash, comparable to Royal Oak IMO. It has all natural binding agents, and very little at that, which probably contributes to the low ash production. It burns cooler than lump but more consistent throughout a long cook. I used it on a 14# pork shoulder and barely had to touch my UDS to keep temperatures in check over a 14 hour or so cook.
