re: Preferred Charcoal Briquette - Do you Buy Royal Oak Classic at $1.99?

Royal Oak Classic is a Lowes private label brand that Royal Oak makes for them.
Royal Oak also makes private label for Home Depot (Embers), Walmart (Expert Grill), Kroger, and many other supermarkets.
Royal Oak has a patent on the "Ridge" charcoal briquette shape, the "Ridge" logo is on every private label bag they sell.
Here is the kicker though, Royal Oak sells Ridge Briquettes in a red bag, and these are a different formulation than the private label brands (confirmed by e-mailing the company and through experience). The red bag Royal Oak Ridge perform better than the private label brands in my experience (have not tried the Royal Oak Classic from Lowes).
At $1.99/ bag I will be interested to hear opinions on the Royal Oak Classic from Lowes.
I think Royal Oak Ridge in the red bag is the best briquette on the market that is not an all hardwood briquette (aka Weber, Cowboy All Natural, Royal Oak All Natural, Trader Joes, and B&B Oak).

I went to Lowes, and they were out of stock. I would suggest calling before going. I happened to be going for a different reason, but I checked and they were out of stock.
That is good information. I did pick up a bag of regular Royal Oak Ridge charcoal and it was 7 bucks for a 16 lb bag. I have a bag of Weber ($14.99), a bag of Kingsford Professional, and a huge arse bag of Cowboy Lump, which I believe I will take back to Costco and get something else.

That's alot of information. I can appreciate the research but this may be over complicating things. I start my burn with a basket of whatever and maintain with cured post oak, usually 1 or 2 sticks per hour. By the time the smoke clears the charcoal is a non-issue, never been a problem. Just stay away from lighter fluid or pre-soaked briquettes and you're golden.
