@WildonionAB , If I lived in your neck of the woods, I'd sooner go to a cattle ranch and get a bunch of cow pies, in place of KBB.
All kidding aside. Here in Ontario we don't have that big a selection. What I see on a regular basis is Maple Leaf briquettes, Royal Oak briquettes, Weber and Kingsford blue. Of all of those to me Kingsford smells awful is the smokiest and leaves the most ash. Plus it's never on sale and is the most expensive per pound. I use mostly maple leaf briquettes so I'm more used to that sweet mild smell of maple rather than the heavier smell of the others. Royal Oak & Weber are a mix of Oak and hickory so smell a bit stronger but not unpleasant. I think what gets me with the KBB is the coal dust they use in the blend.
I use lump about 85 percent of the time so based on price per pound here KBB is a complete no go. Now, If we in Canada had those great sales like they do in the US I'm sure I could get used to Kingsford.
