STOCKTON, Calif., June 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cowboy Charcoal, maker of top selling natural hardwood lump charcoal, chips and chunks, announces the second annual Original Cowboy Charcoal Sweepstakes and the launch of its authoritative barbecue blog, The Roundup.

"We are extremely excited to kick off the 2nd annual Original Cowboy Charcoal Sweepstakes," said Cowboy Brand Manager, Katy Sanders.  "Entrants will have a chance to win a supply of Cowboy Charcoal and a new Weber Kettle Grill every month during the summer."  More information about the sweepstakes and how to enter are available on Cowboy's new blog The Roundup.  The blog features tasty grilling recipes, and barbecue tips and trends.

For over 100 years Cowboy Charcoal has been making premium grilling products for backyard chefs who crave authentic, smoky flavor in all of their barbecued foods.
