I saw B&B lump charcoal at Lowe’s in North central Florida last Sunday.

Never tried their lump.  Their briquettes are great.  But looks like they won't have their briquettes.  Will try their lump tho.

Their briquettes are fantastic and harder to find than their lump in my area. It’s a shame Lowe’s won’t have the briquettes.  I’ve tried to get into lump but I keep going back to briquettes. I like the consistency.

The only place I can find their briquettes is Academy Sports.  That is a 40 minute drive, one way.

@Foster Dahlet
Do you have an Ace Hardware near you?
They stock it locally in north Central Florida and will ship to store for pickup.

Edit:
Elder’s Ace Hardware in Rome Ga, has B&B briquettes in stock.

Whenever I go to Ace, they only have lump.  But I'll check again.  It is very close to my house.

Would that be Academy or Cartersville?  I thought for sure there was an Academy in Rome.

@magic mike Yes, Cartersville.  Wish we had one in Rome, but I am not sure our population size would support an Academy Sports.  Durham sports is here and doesn't get much traffic

My local rural king had three bags left of the briquettes. Not sure if they will get more for spring or not.

B&B doesn’t make their own briquettes and with COVID has had a hard time getting them made for them. Friend of mine owns a bbq  supply website and was telling me about it.

The briquette bags say made in Mexico. Is the lump made here?

I’m not sure where it’s made , but the company has been making lump since the 60’s from Texas. From what i was told , the lump is through BB’s company , so it’s always in stock  and just the briquettes are the issue since they outsource them.

I was intrigued and took a trip to my Lowes here in San Diego to see if it was in stock. Found this. Also saw a brand I'm not familiar with, Ridge charcoal. Says it's made by the Royal Oak company. No B&B briquettes though

I haven't seen this at Lowe's yet, but I did find the B&B lump at my local Ace Hardware. I used it in my Summit for a very high heat pizza cook Sunday and relit what was left yesterday to grill a few chicken breasts.
I like it so far and hope to find it at my Lowe's.

Found one bag of briquettes at my local Ace and snagged it.  Will use it for my pork butt coming up.  Maybe tomorrow or Monday.

I remember why I like B&B briquettes so much, now that I have this bag again.  Big briquettes..   Lights up fast... I have 1/2 chimney of used charcoal, half fresh, & still sitting at 425 degrees on indirect well into my cook....there us a low amount of ash after cooks...just great charcoal.  Wish it was easier to find consistently.

I agree. It’s really good. I’ve been hoarding every bag I can find.
