( got them all ,sorry neibor ) There is more around my friends zip code Ii checked in Houston TX ,Clearwater FL and Middletown DE . $1 to $2 a bag . https://brickseek.com/lowes-inven...1000175405 https://www.lowes.com/pd/Royal-Oa...1000175405 (Disclaimer, I put YMMV and price in title like all Lowes deals are, for you .) and "re post"

OP, what are you doing with 500 pounds of charcoal, besides sitting on top of a mountain of it and gloating at your slick deal kingdom?

$4 in my area. Ehh

He should donate some to local fire co for chicken bbq

I got 4 bags last time. Not a huge fan of how it cooks.

Ehhh this stuff is pretty crappy, tons of dust and doesnt create consistent heat, it burns super fast and gets really hot and just gives you a crap ton of ashes to clean up. Doesn't work at all in my smoker, id rather spend a little more and get the lump charcoal

Thumbs up for the all around honesty in the OP

Kingsford blue has gone up in price and the deals aren't good anymore on memorial day. I agree that this Royal oak doesn't burn the same and is very dusty/ashy. My son works at Lowe's and this item is discontinued, being replaced by a label called EDGE (from Royal oak company).

$3.99 by me.

Dang. Pocomoke MD stash is huge. But it's like 160 miles round trip. I'd have to get everything out of the crv and load it up and by then it's barely worth it. I should pretty much have enough to last me to Memorial Day. Might need to snag a few bags on Father's Day...

RO makes brands for many stores. HD's brand is Embers. You'll get the exact same product as this bag.

If you look at RO bags, they always show that "ridge flow design" image on them.

RO also makes the Weber briquettes as a no-filler formula to burn longer/hotter and have less ash byproduct. The RO brand equivalent is All Natural and Chefs Select.

if you smoke or use it to grill regularly it will go fast.....
