That's Home Depot I'm guessing?

I wish we had a sign sale like that here in Canada.

Dang. I was over there this evening but couldn't find any signs for pricing on the charcoal so I passed. Now my family won't get to eat for the next month :(

I almost did the same thing, but caught it on the cart and put it back.

Usually Lowe's has a matching sale, and sometimes Walmart. Check it online - this time Home Depot is much lower in price.

More than a dozen...

And now that the sign has disappeared, I guess the sale is over...  :'(

326 to 328 briquettes.


Method 1.

Quote

3 pounds of the old briquettes contained 53 briquettes. 3 pounds of the new briquettes contained 52.5 briquettes.

So, old B : 1lb=17.67 B
1bag=18.6lb=328.6 B

new B: 1lb=17.5 B
1bag=18.6lb=325.5B


Method 2.

Quote

When we weighed 7 whole, large briquettes of each type, both samples weight exactly 180 grams.

7 large B=180 grams, so 1 L B= 25.7 grams
In 18.6lb bag :  ( since 1lb=453.59 grams ) 18.6 x 453.59=8436.8 grams
So, 8436.8 divide by 25.7=328 B

So, all large size B will yield 328.6 to all small at 325.5.  So, I would say at average 327 briquettes in each 18.6lb bag.
Data in quotation was gathered from here. http://www.nakedwhiz.com/productreviews/kvsk/oldkingsfordnew.htm

Not sure why you would want to find out, but it was a challenge for me to find out regardless.

Open one up and count them and see if I am right.

Someone's gotta verify that. Love applying math and a formula too it. Americas test kitchen I believe actually calls out quantity of briquettes when they use a kettle.

I really really really like ATK's recipes and especially their Cook's Illustrated Meat Book.
