Quote from: reillyranch on October 24, 2024, 03:14:34 PMHey Troy-
I used to work for B&B and the charlogs are great for long slow cooks (unless they changed the production method after Duraflame bought them).  They are compressed 3x more than the briquettes so there is more mass and burn times.  They take a bit longer to light up and don't give off a lot of smoke bur that's what chunks are for.  I've seen comp guys line them up vertically in a barrel and light one end and they will burn for days.  Ed

I love stacking them vertically in my chimney when I light them. They definitely can burn hotter than reggie briqs.

I think my last back of the logs was bad, but current bag is much better

#2 B&B Briquettes from Ace or Jealous Devil Briquettes from Walmart.

I mainly use the Cowboy due to the cost and it does a great job for most grilling cooks. I've figured out how to use some of the leftover for the next cook too. They don't get as hot, or last as long as the B&B or JD.

If I plan the smoke some meat, I'll use the B&B Briquettes. I'm pretty settled on using the snake method on my kettles. I have a Slow & Sear for my 26, but prefer the snake.

Living in San Diego, there just isn't a whole lot of quality briquettes to choose from. I've tries all the Kingsford stuff, B&B. Jealous Devil, Blues Hog.

I do happen to have two bags of Weber Briquettes left, just in case of I don't know what! Hands down, these are the best performing briquette I have ever used.

For now, the Cowboy Briquettes are my preferred charcoal.



 

Funny, I had saved my last bag of Weber briqs just to review them, but i got desperate and finally used them after holding on to them for 2+ years.

Have you tried the B*B Competition Char Logs?
I'm glad you said something about the Cowboy briqs... I haven't used that brand in years

B&b orange bag briquettes.   Burns hotter and longer.    Just wood char and binder.   The briquettes are huge.   $9.99 at Academy. 

Fogo for lump.

Just added a year 2000 (DD on vent) go anywhere to the grill-arsenal. $10 on eBay. Upgraded it w stainless steel grate w handles, added some felt seal tape to lid (amazing what this did in regard to heat retention) and have wooden handles coming in a few days. Cleaned up nice for a used grill...
