Best mesquite buy in the West

Summer is l-o-n-g in L.A., and so, in time-honored California fashion, it’s time to stock up on mesquite. Don’t bother with those little 10-pound bags -- you’ll burn through one in only a couple of evenings. Instead of worrying about running out, pull into Smart & Final and make off with one or more of the huge 40-pound bags for just $12.99 each. For the record, I bought mine when I happened to be driving by the West Los Angeles store on Santa Monica Boulevard. Available at Smart & Final stores across the Southland.

I have been using this stuff for many years.I do like it.
My complaint is that most of the time there is about 8-10 pounds of unuseable 'dust' or very tiny chunks at the bottom.
I can understand a few pounds but in the past couple of years it has increased.
Deliberate??...
I called the 800 number a few times but have never been able to talk to anyone.
