Also....I HIGHLY recommend the royal oak lump charcoal at walmart (bright red/orange bag). They make all the lump for the BGE brand. Very good stuff.

The Royal Oak is definitely good, especially for the price, just have to watch the country of origin on the bags. Not all of it is the US made stuff like the BGE lump.

For the OP, take a look at this site:
http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lumpindexpage.htm?bag

About 2/3 of the way down the page they have all of the Royal Oak bags and they tell you where to look to see if it's a US or South American bag.

There is actually a lot of useful info on that site, but it isn't laid out that well, so you have to poke around from the home page to find all of it.

Very true. I bought the Brazil version a few years ago at a BBQ store. It sparked liked a fireworks show.
All of it at WalMart (that I have ever seen, anyway) is the US made stuff.

Yep, this is what I use.

Funny story... a couple of years ago it was rumored that Walmart was no longer going to carry RO lump. I bought every bag at three different Walmarts and ended up with about a pallet all together. Obviously, the rumor was false!!!! I don't use lump in my big cooker, but I do use my Eggs quite a bit. Still, I have probably 15 bags up in the rafters of the barn

Yeah, I went through that around easter. I could not find it at any stores so when I did finally find it, I loaded up 25 bags. I hope I can find it again in a few months.
