Weber briquettes clearance $3.90.

[jmike314]

I’m just a newbie here but I’m not passing up a deal.

I used BrickSeek and was able to score 10 bags of the Weber at a metro location - was gonna go back but they were sold out. However, the HD closest to me has visibly older bags of Kingsford Professional for the $3.90 price as well as Embers briquettes for $2.96.

Anybody use the Embers before?

Just a heads up as to WHY Home Depot is clearing these out...

When the Weber Briquettes first launched they were sold as stock #17950 but about a year later they changed the bag slightly (dimensions changed from 26.5"H X 7.5"W X 12.3"D to 29.5"H X 7.5"W X 12.25"D)

HD likely had a HUGE surplus of the original #17950 thus the huge blowout... they should still have the new stuff #17951 moving forward. No change to the actual product as far as I can tell and am told.

Matt is it possible that the different product numbers is due to one being Canadian and the other the US?

It crossed my mind that this might be a possibility, so I looked at starter cubes as a comparison.  The product numbers for it differ between Canadian and US sites also.

I was told by the manager at Home Depot in Hickory North Carolina clearance around here was because red had faded. Weber told them to get rid of it

Possible... but here in Canada the bags were definitively originally the 17950 and the new ones have all been 17951 since mid summer. And all the bags I see being sold at HD are the older 17950 number....

I'll do a closer comparison later as I believe I have bags of each at home.

^^ there could be something to Al b que's post... perhaps the original bags were fading too much and the new ones stay pretty

I bought a bunch at LOwes here in Hamilton back in May 2018 and they're all 17951

Not surprised to see this, but there’s a resale market for the recent Weber charcoal clearance.

Slowly the mystery is unraveling!

The ORIGINAL #17950 Bags had all information in English, French and Spanish. They have since changed them to English only based on the pictures on the Weber USA site.

The NEW #17951 bag appears to be a Canadian Specific as it has only English and French (as required by law in Canada)

Beyond that there seems to be no difference.

Sounds about right when they changed on the West coast as well.

I checked my local HD a week+ ago for this and they were out.  I figured the metro areas was cleared out.


I was in the 2nd closest to me today on a different quest and saw this.  Would've missed it if it hadn't been on a pallet in the front of the store, as I did not check the bbq aisle.





So, of course, this happened:











Needless to say, I was pleased to pick up 37 bags (a damaged one was free.)


I just found and checked the brickseek link above and see there are still some in the Seattle metro area.

Just picked up 8 bags near me, they had 8-10 more but I still have a pretty big stash in my shed.  When the snow melts off I will have to move what I bought to the shed.  May be time for a bigger shed.

Bumping an old thread here ‘cause I saw this deal. I’ve never tried these, and I swore I wouldn’t buy anymore charcoal until my Weber briquette stockpile runs out, but...at 75% off, I’m giving four bags of this a shot. Anyone here tried it? Likes/dislikes?

@Jed.cook , thank you.  my charcoal stockpile is down to the last 1/2 bag.  i'll go looking for this.

Still $13 all over NorCal, here but I’ll keep it on my radar.
