I forget what I pay at Agway for it, but it's around that. BUT, at my
Agway (in New Jersey) the Royal Oak packaging is different from the
usual bright red bag (as seen here-
http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lumpdatabase/lumppoll11.htm )

And I've always wondered if there's a difference.

It's a Blue Bag, "Royal Oak" in yellow, with a red slash saying "Lump
Charcoal". Under "Royal Oak" it has an oval with "Star Grill" in it.
Product of USA for Royal Oak Roswell, GA. Labeled on reverse in French
for Canadian sales, with Canadian distribution address as well.

Also, picked up a bag of a new brand of lump at a local Super Fresh
(A&P-owned). At first, I shuttered when I saw it since it was from a
not-exactly-known-for-natural-products company, Dura-Flame. "100%
Natural Lump Charcoal made from Oak, Maple and Hickory Woods", tho', it
said on the package so I bought some. (8.8 lbs for $4.99). Fine print
notes that it's "100% recycled hardwood from Us milling operations".
Haven't used it yet but it looks mostly like 2" or less dimentional
lumber, not a lot of tongue and groove, nothing that looks "finished".

Good price.
It is a shame there isn't a Royal Oak plant in your area. I think a 20# bag
at the Ocala Plant is $6.42

For complete mailing addresses go to;
http://www.mniguide.com/ and search for "Royal Oak". The free guide does not
include
phone numbers. If you happen to call one, please ask for the numbers for the
rest of them
and post back. Ocala, FL is 352-732-0005, 1921 NW 7th Pl, 34475. Ocala sells
from their
dock, but only ships on order from their headquarters wherever that is.
That's my two cents worth.

There are basically four different manufactures of Royal Oak lump. Each
manufacturer has a different colored bag. Cannot remember what region the
colors represented, but they are color coded. Like you said , here in NJ the
red bag is the norm. I also have purchased the blue bag in Union County. The
price last year was $8.95, this year $9.95/20lbs. the owner gives a $1.00
break per bag if you buy ten or more bags.

The lump I buy from the Royal Oak plant on Ocala can come in any of several
different bags, not only different colors, but with different brand names.
