Commentary
The charcoal is easy to light, requiring 2.5 sheets in our chimney starter test. It burns with a moderate and pleasant smokey smell, which is exactly what you expect from Royal Oak. And at $8 for 20 pounds, the price is right. If you have a connection with anyone who can purchase from a food service supplier, this is a great option. We give it our Highly Recommended rating.
