Title: Weber Charcoal Briquette Sample
Post by: kettlebb on April 18, 2017, 08:41:54 AM
To anyone who has a registered charcoal grill, be on the lookout for an email like the screenshot below:
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170418/85a31962fad140535a2ecab4d764e1b7.jpg)

Lots of questions on the forums about this stuff. If you haven't registered a grill and you can you might want to call and do so.

SO I called customer service concerning this email and they had no idea what I was talking about. Directed them to this forum and they are researching it. More to follow tomorrow.

Understood. I just wanted in on the deal, but I dont have a kettle newer than 1997.

The one I have registered is  98 SSP.  Glad to say I got the email and signed up.

If the Weber briquettes are not a major upgrade for the price from KBB, then I'll at least have their empty water proof bag to dump all my new kbb briquettes into.

I have a bag I've been playing with the last few weeks and I'm still trying to figure them out. But they are good! 
Little tougher to light so snake method not so good. But I like grilling with them better and they ash less

Not sure they're worth the cost difference but I think they'll figure it out

Lately, Royal Oak, before that Maple Leaf, soon Basques Sugar Maple briquettes. Have tried the Weber, but I can't justify the price.

IMO, Kingsford because of all the additives is a no go for me, plus we never have it on sale.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would probably give KBB a 7, all the other briq's I have available, I would score above 9.

You guys that didn't get the email might want to check your weber account settings assuming you have one. There is a box that you could have checked when creating an account or registering that says you don't want to receive emails.

I wasn't on the email list but did see a sign up page today and tried to put my info in and it said:

"Sorry, an error was encountered. Thank you for your interest in the briquette sample program. We reached the request limit."

Bummer!

I did get the email and requested a sample. I just clicked the link above and saw this:


OH NO!
Other Grillers Beat You to It!
Due to the limited number of free samples available, we're sorry to say that you've missed out on this special offer. Be sure to check your email for other great offers from Weber in the future.

Weber charcoal smells nice and is working beautifully on a fajita cook.

Got mine. Un-opened and straight into a gusseted food saver bag. It's in the very back of the freezer. If I time it right, shit's gonna be mint just ahead of the end times! ;D

Probably should be a new thread, but Weber is doing more samples. They just posted it on their FB page.
