Curiouser and curiouser...
I wanted to see whether I had really gotten a great deal on top-notch charcoal. I got sample briquettes of Kingsford Pro, Member’s Mark, Gordon Food Service (also made by RO), and Weber. The GFS and MM briquettes were pretty much identically sized, but the GFS seemed much harder and heavier. Putting them on the kitchen scale confirmed my impression - the MM briquette weighed 35 g, while the GFS weighed 50 g. I’ll confirm when I get a chance to burn both of them, but I’d expect the GFS to last a lot longer due to being denser. The K-Pro weighed 22 g, and the Weber was fluttering between 41 & 42 g, despite being noticeably the largest of the group. The Weber wasn’t as crumbly as the MM, but it wasn’t as shiny as the GFS, either.
