It's not its private la et. This is good charcoal. Just cant believe its .50 a lb. When these were 'on sale" it was half that. I'd buy a whole pallet.

    How is Embers by Royal Oak different than regular Royal Oak charcoal briquettes? Does it have the starter fluid built in? Or is it just a private label for Home Depot?

    Answer This Question

    It is basically the same just a store label charcoal vs name brand. I use this and have no problems with it and it does not have lighter fluid.

      For the price it isn't a bad deal. 40 pounds tend to last into the end of summer. Easy to light up and keep going.

      Poor Quality
      This is the worst it literally took almost 3 times longer to start and be ready and it burns off faster I had to keep adding brick to my grill eventually I went and bought Kingsford to finish cooking.

          DO NOT BUY!!!
          Do not buy this charcoal. It was one of the worst charcoal I've ever used. On the bag, it advertises Fast Lighting, Long Burning, Ready to Cook in 15 mins. IT'S ALL FALSE!!! It refuses to light. I was using a weber chimney with their starter cubes AND newspaper. It smokes up like crazy. Had to use a blower to stoke the fire. It doesn't burn long at all and produces an insane amount of ash. More than half of the bag will become ash. The briquettes are inconsistent in size and they fall apart (crumble into dust) easily when pouring out of the bag. It also does not produce a lot of heat. I bought about 8 bags of it, and I had to mix it with other charcoal briquettes and lump coals to get better results. Luckily I only paid $2.50 per bag. Even that, I still find it not worth it. Avoid it at all cost. This thing should be discontinued.

            My favorite charcoal, not happy that you’re not selling it in store anymore. Hopefully it will be on sale again as it was when it was in store thanks.

            More smoke, a slower burn, and lower temp than the more expensive 'pro' coals that start with K. Great for grilling slow n low with lots of smoke output. Can mix these with faster and hotter burning 'pro' coals to achieve a better char with excellent smoky flavor. The two 20LB bags were placed in a large box and delivered by UPS. Service was quick and the bags arrived in great shape.
