I remember a few years back when, it seemed to me, Jealous devil was coming out on the market (4-5yrs ago)?  I saw it at a novelty BBQ shop and I bought a bag of briquettes (pricey but was worth a try). I loved it! but it was like $34 for a 17lb bag.  I then saw the Jealous devil a few weeks later for $29.99/17lb at Home Depot so I bought two bags.  Enjoyed those as well but it was a bit pricey for me and got settled in to B&B Orange bag for the next few years.

I see in the last year JD's prices have come down and they offer XL briquettes and lump on their product line. I also see that they've made their bags 20lbs and are now $18 at least in my area.  Much better deal so I purchased a stock for now.

I'll continue to go between JD and B&B orange bag as my main heating sources.  Also, I have purchased B&B logs (red 30lb bag) for several smokes and one pizza cook. Love the uniformity and long lasting burn on those as well.
