Today's the displaced holiday for Canada Day and I've got friends coming over for dinner, and I've got four racks of back ribs to go in the 22.5" WSM. I'm using Weber briquettes which I got on sale to fuel the WSM and while I was scooping them out of the bag during the setup, I pulled out a Royal Oak ridge briquette! Then I scooped out more briquettes to load up a chimney and I pulled out a second Royal Oak briquette! They're diminutive next to the Weber ones. If they are being made by Royal Oak, or the same manufacturer that makes Royal Oak, a packaging snafu could account for that.
I'm near the bottom of the bag of Weber briquettes so I'll try to take a look later to see if there's any more of the Royal Oak ones in there. But can anybody confirm they're being made by the same manufacturer?
