Hey chaps, just wondered where the best\cheapest option (online if possible) to get charcoal from.

I've just ordered a BBQ smoker, i have a gas BBQ and get a good price on gas, i now need the same for charcoal.

Anyone got any suggestions? would rather not treck to Tesco or Sainsbury's for such things.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Charcoal isn't heavy so it can be posted.

Our local petrol station has bags outside in the summer but I don't know the quality (or if it is truly dry).

A garden centre ?

Garden centres tend to rip you off I have noticed just like petrol stations. Maybe supermarkets are best. I just thought there might be smarter options
Like I can get gas far half the price that homebase do it. Thought same might exist for charcoal

Perhaps politically incorrect for me to recommend another forum but this is a specialist subject it would seem, who knew?:rolleyes:
