not all WM have it and i couldn't find it at WM on line but the one in abdington Va. had it .
i'll be cooking with it tomorrow night not bad looking at all and cheaper than their 18 lb bags of briquets that cost $8

Thought you were going to start making your own black powder there for a minute.

 

[JeffB1961]

OH HECK NO !
that is above my confidence level .

got a little angus round roast started this morning to give the new (to me) lump a try

 

[JeffB1961]

well ... this lump is a fail . both bags had the bottom 2/3 of the bag full of small pieces .
i won't buy again .

Well then, maybe making your own black powder isn't so far in the future if the charcoal is already reduced to fines?
