I just switched to B&B Competition Oak myself, I always used Stubbs to smoke as it lasted much
longer than Kingsford. After Stubbs was no longer available I told myself I could get by with Kingsford, but
I was wrong. This got me on the hunt for the best charcoal for these long smokes and I came across B&B.
This stuff is amazing and have got over 24 hours out of a load without the ring in my 18.5 WSM. In the same
scenario the Kingsford ran out after 14. I did multiple test with no food on the smoker and B&B blew away the
Kingsford. I have now switched to B&B for all my cooking. It burns hotter, longer and cleaner than any other
charcoal I have used. It last so much longer that when I am done with a regular cook the briquettes are still
full size. I would suggest any forum members check out some of the B&B videos on Youtube and you can see
some direct comparisons. I went into it just looking for a smoker charcoal and came out a convert. The price
is higher per bag in comparison to the regular price from Kingsford, but it blows it away due to the fact it last
so much longer, and you can get so many more cooks out of it.
