Anyone use? Im intrigued for my BGE.
One one of the grilling forums I read that Royal Oak Lump is the same product as the BGE charcoal. It works for me. May look around for Fogo to try something different.
Brian - I use it in my eggs since I can't get Weekend Warrior Wicked Good here in CA anymore ... apparently that particular charcoal can create CO ... which, apparently, is deadly to Californians who sleep in their f'n "huts" burning Wicked Good charcoal all night (which is the reason I can't get it) ... especially here in SoCal where the temperature can plummet to almost below 60 degrees F ... but I digress ...
Fogo is very good my only complaint (not really a big one) is the bag lump size varies considerably whith a lot of very large pieces / just smack em together but that does take some handling ... unlike my bloody Wicked Good which was always just kinda perfect sized ...
The burn is very good - hot, stays lit (so smoke setup work well) and ash is thin/small ... hence I have been using it after reading about it on Amazing Ribs ... but try it an see (also see if you can find Wicked Good in NJ ... just not sure but it is a New England product ...) best not to tell me you can get it or I'll be having my father ship it to me ... if I can get it smuggled into SoCal ....

I use FOGO in my Kamado Joe Big Joe, as well as my Akorn grills. I have found it to be about the best available. It burns very well, gives great flavor and has large chunks. I get mine direct from FOGO, as they pay shipping and no one in my area carries it. You should also give Kamado Joe Big Block a look, it's also great lump.

Looks like Modern propane has it here. I pass by it every day on my way home from work!

"You R Dead To Me" to quote South Park ... I LOVE Wicked Good ... but tell me what you think! See I don't hold a grudge for long!
:bliss:
Last time was 2 years ago when I could still get it here ... no issues then (or prior to that) and FWIW I always separate lump into Large & Med/Small pieces (for ease of setup) but I did read what you just read and still ordered it ... FOGO (like I said) is good but I don't think is burns as long as WG (no data just gut feeling) and they are free shipping. I would try the wicked good since it is local IMO ... & I still hate you for it ...

See what I told ya ... the 'new' large chunk definition / not a big percentage but definitely needs some handling. I also find some of it can be very "light" (density wise) and sparks a bit but hey it's chunk charcoal. Definitely is worth a try IMO and its what I use 100% here now ... Still wish I could find that WG though as the combo of the two would be killer ... did some 'hot smoked' & grilled jerk chicken over the weekend on the BGE with Fogo - turned out perfect ...
In case you've never seen this...

The only difference between RO and BGE lump is the size of the lump. Think of BGE as first pick and RO as the rest. This is all coming from the same factory and same production method.
