A local furniture store here in town started trying selling the Vision Grills Kamado Pro....
http://www.visiongrills.com/kamado-pro/

While i was there kicking the tires so to speak i took a look at and bought a bag of there lump. One of the bags on hand was open so i took a look see and to my amazement the chunks of lump were nice big pieces and dense like oak wood. For a 20lb bag i paid $21.99. Sure is heavy for a 20lb bag of lump.

I was wondering if any one has tried this brand of lump & who makes it/bags it for the Vision Grills company?

I searched on the internet and the naked wiz site with no luck. Here`s a pic of the bag. Will try it soon and post my results.

Holy hunks of wood!!!
Tried out this bag of lump yesterday on a butt run. Filled my twin WSM's with loads of this oak lump charcoal, upon opening the bag I was amazed at the size of chunks.... er um I mean logs Shocked.... quite a few huge pieces 8-10 inches in diameter. This stuff even burned longer compared to say royal oak.
One thing I did notice is how I had to open the bottom dampers more on the WSM's to allow for more air flow. The lump seemed to be harder to burn. I contributed or thought that this may be that it is indeed oak a much harder wood, but once I figured out to allow for more air it was fine.

Burned hot and long. It you happen to run across this brand of lump give it a try. I think I paid $23 for a 20 lb bag. Worth the effort.

Thanks for the update, Jeff T!
Burning long is good, IMO. Very Happy
I have never seen that stuff up here (Canada).
We're having a family reunion in July,
with lots of American cousins coming up.
Maybe I will put in a request or two. Very Happy Wink

I bet it's Hecho en Mexico. Most lump comes from South of the Border.

Jeff, Who is selling it??? I'm originally from Columbus and mom and dad head up that way quite often and work with folks who live in Norfolk. I wouldn't mind trying one out.

Sorry for the late reply. Forgot i posted here.

Mid-City Stereo/Slumberland over by the Sunset Plaza Mall has it. They started trying to sell the Kamado grill/smoker a few months ago. I stopped in the other day and looked at the smoker/grill thought i`d try a bag.
I think its pretty good stuff.
