Ive been using "Jealous Devil All Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal". Have you tried it or can compare it against Royal Oak?
Ive never had a problem like that but as others have said, that looks like something broke off on the production line and ended up in the bag. Given that you dont eat the coal its probably not that big of a deal unless it has some nasty coatings on it that could fuck with your food while its heated.
Nah, I didn't figure it would be a problem. I still grilled with it. Just never got a bit of machine in my charcoal bag before.
Ive found a left-over nail or two a couple of times but that has not happened in ages. I think they have put things in place to keep that from happening as much.
