Saw these at Walmart for about the price of KBB when it's on sale. Since my KBB stockpile from the last sale ran out I figured I would see if these will work for basic grilling. Has anyone tried these out? Here is what they look like. I am going to do a comparison with Royal Oak.

Side by side pic of Walmart(left) and royal oak(right). The royal oak looks more quality, but also ~7.50 a bag vs 4.50. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180129/df486440cd17d9cc1c6f2fbeeb68ecd0.jpg)
Just another store branded Royal Oak...I've used Embers many times (Royal Oak's Home Depot store brand) with no complaints. Is it as good as Weber briquettes? No! Will they do a good job for your average grillfella? Yes!
Yup. re-branded RO. My local supermarket has their own version. I have used it and it is just fine. In my case, red bag Royal Oak at Lowe's is cheaper than the re-brand at the local supermarket.
FWIW, look up the patent number in the fine print on the bag. It's for the RO ridges.
Cool I literally stopped and looked at is yesterday and wondered how it was also

I use it when I don't have the extra spending money for my favorites . It seems that it takes a bit longer to get it started but . It burns hot and does the job . If it's cheap why not .

Cool. This is exactly what i was hoping to hear. If I'm cooking a brisket or something expensive I will be pulling out the weber charcoal. For quick cooks here and there this stuff seems like it will do the trick.
