Your Costco and my Costco might get their Kingsford off
the same truck on some days; were they really 20lbs bags?
Kingsford is using a 21.6lbs bag these days with their
"new improved" coal/petroleum coke fuel, and I recall
Costco used to always have 24lbs bags instead of 20lbs bags
found elsewhere. It was a perk of shopping at Costco :-)

But now I'm wondering if everyone gets the "new improved"
21.6lbs bag.

In any case, I won't be burning any Kingsford as long as
I can get Original Charcoal Co. briquettes. It's great stuff
that seems to give most of the benefit of lump at a low
price (Lazzari's has gotten expensive, like $17/40lbs,
though I still love the stuff).
