Where do you guys buy your large charcoal pieces for culturing springs?

I got mine at Home Depot...natural hardwood charcoal.

The kind I use is called cowboy charcoal. I get mine at the hardware store, with all the other grilling charcoal.

Lowe's
Sometimes available as COWBOY brand and sometimes available as FRONTIER brand. Either brand is the same thing, hardwood charcoal.

thanks guys, i was at Home Depot today and they didnt have any... i may have looked in the wrong area, i was in the garden area. i will check it out more tomorow.

other places that sell grills, like nurseries/garden centers are apt to have some. Don't forget to wash it...very dusty stuff.

You can also find it at about any grocery store. Any brand will work, just make sure it is natural lump charcoal.

Target has it

Here In Raleigh I know only Lowes has the COWBOY brand Homedepot doesn't carry any natural wood charcoal. Lowes must have exclusive rights to that company.

Walmart carries the brand Royal Oak. This brand has larger pieces than Cowboy.

Lowes for me here. Cowboy charcoal.

I don't buy it any more. I grew tired of black gummy bears dangling out of my nose for a week. Unless you're you're cranking out bugs like Pumilo, it's easier to just grab a few bags of the stuff that has been pre-ground from one of our sponsors.

My 2 cents. Your gummy bears may vary.
