Publix - Greenwise lump.

Anyone with a Publix nearby (southeast) can get some excellent lump charcoal from Publix. It's their store brand. It is as good as anything I've gotten from the grill store.

Lowes or Kroger, the kilned stuff is @ the same price and performance.

I HATES me some lump charcoal.

I've been using stubbs a lot and like it. I use kingsford in a pinch cause I bought a couple twin packs when they were on sale for 10 bucks. I wont use cowboy lump that stuffs sucks.

I usually use Royal Oak lump for a base layer of coals, and then I have about a half cord of apple that I use for smoking that I got free from a friend that cut down a massive dead apple tree. I also collect pieces of oak or hickort when I can find it free.

Cowboy or Diablo lump in a pinch. I get a really good deal on it where I get my animal feed.

Most of the time raw mesquite, sometimes with palo verde or ironwood thrown in. Living out in the desert has its benefits

AWESOME!!!!!! But desert is not the only raw wood paradise.

We have oak, apple, pear, etc a plenty. I like Cowboy lumps for hot grilling, not consistent enough for smoking or slow roasting (same with raw bits)

Stubbs surprised me with much ash, but far less than Kisgsford.

Kingsford = white zin, marlborough, budweiser, etc,..
Stubbs = Cabernet, real cigars, Stone Ipa, etc,..
Raw Wood= wild horse pinot, Home grown fire cured tobacco, Stone Vertical epic 080808, etc,...

(all stone used in the last 2 so as not to snub them)
