Went to the local super Walley world last night to get a couple bags of RO lump. To my surprise there wasn't any out on display. I asked a clerk about it and I was told they no longer carry it. They're strictly kingsford and walley brands. Walley sold out to corporate pressures and guess what else......Kingsford charwood went up in price 50 cent a 10lb bag. Time to start shopping elsewhere.

If you have a Gordons Food Service store(GFS), I was able to purchase RO in a 20lb. bag for 10.00 on Tuesday of this week. I was impressed with the size and quality of this product. Ed.

does your wally-world carry "Real-Flavor" brand lump?

I really like the stuff, and might be a better choice for you compared to "Kings-Turd", I have had debris issues with real-flavor though, expect at least one rock (or chunk of concrete) per bag.

Allegedly Kingsford uses domesticly sourced hardwods for their charwood product. (they made this claim to me in a complaint resolution situation letter)

I can cut & paste from the e-mail I have recieved from them if anyone is interested. I was under the impression that they used south-american sourced woods, according to the naked whiz ratings.

I just picked up two bags off a fresh pallet last week at the local mega-wally. I guess I need to go buy all I can. Crap, now where am I gonna get R.O.? WW was the only place that carried it around here.

Restaraunt depot also carries the 20lb bag of royal oak and I think that it might only be $8 or something like that...you might want to see if there is one in your area. I think that you only need a business license to get a membership.
