A few weeks back I asked if anyone had tried the new Wal-Mart charcoal. I don't think anyone that replied had. So, my curiosity got to me and I bought some. Besides, it felt like a cheeseburger day.
New for 2012 is a new shape and size. The bag design is also new. The bag comes in an 18 pound size and a smaller, not sure what it was, but about half. On the bag it points out that the charcoal is 60% larger. Here is a few pic's of the new bag design and their claims;
OK, so we opened up the bag to load the chimney, I am thinking monster sized charcoal, but what I got was different. Here is a pic, kind of fuzzy, but you can make it out alright;
So, as you can see, they changed the shape from the round/oval shape from previous years, to this Star Wars shape. I would guess that it does have 60% more surface area, but what benefit is that? In this case not much. It seemed about average on start time. There was no odor -- thats a good thing. Typical of charcoal, it puts out lots of ash.
I don't remember what I paid, so I won't guess. Would I buy it again? Yes, any day over the blue bag stuff.
Thats about it. Oh yea, the cheeseburgers, yea, they hit the spot.
