I've been speaking to my contacts at Big K today and they've told me that there will be supply problems on their 15kg bags of restaurant grade charcoal and they're unsure of when this will be resolved.
The 15kg bags from Big K are filled with their ACH15 charcoal which is their hottest & longest burning charcoal and I've found it to be very clean burning compared to other charcoals I've used and it comes in large chunks which makes it great for smoking.
They do still have large stocks of their 12kg bags which is made from a slightly different hardwood charcoal. Big K are sending me a few bags of this different charcoal and I'll let everyone know my thoughts after giving it a try. I'll also bring a bag of it to MIM.
If you've been using the 15kg bags and want to keep on using it this year, I'd suggest stocking up now whilst it's still available.

Re: Big K Stock Levels
Anyone coming to MiM want to split a pallet? I'll ask Toby if we can have it delivered there first obviously, if not I'll see if I can arrange something else. I'm happy to take half a pallet myself so 20 bags left...

Re: Big K Stock Levels
I've got 2 of the 12kg bags in the shed, I'll be opening one tonight so will let you know what it's like after a weekends cooking. I didn't know there was a difference between the 2 sizes, helps explain the price difference as it didn't match just the extra 3kg.
Re: Big K Stock Levels
Yeah me and q are interested in stocking up on cheap, excellent fuel

Re: Big K Stock Levels
I'd be in for some too please. I used the 12kg bags recently & they've been the best so far. So if the 15kgs are better....
