Charcoal selection

[Vwbuggin64]

So I am about to finally run out of my Weber charcoal. I bought a pallet on clearance at Home Depot a while back. The stores here have been reduced to Royal Oak and/or Kingsford, both of which I haven't had the greatest success with. What charcoal is everyone using besides those? I heard a while back that Cowboy bought Stubbs and will be producing the briquettes but haven't seen them. Thanks!

I really like B&B both briquettes and lump.

I agree with @bamakettles.

My local Ace hardware stocks B&B briquettes and Lowe's carries lump.

I just switched a few months back to jealous devil lump. It's a little more expensive but I've had really good success with it. It doesn't pop and it responds well to damper changes. Oh and it burns nice and long. I would recommend a try.

Kingsford has never let me down.

I'm with you on the Weber charcoal. I have been through probably 25 bags of it and I am down to my last 8 or so of it.
I have tried the B&B and Rockwood lump and like them both, the price is reasonable. I have not tried the jealous devil yet.

Rockwood lump, with B&B competition oak briquettes a very close second.

Ace hardware! Find one and enjoy.

I got a bag of JD recently at Academy Sports. Probably the best lump I've cooked with to date. Burns forever and clean. I like the all natural RO briquettes and bb lump and briquettes. For the money it's hard to beat BB .

Jealous devil was great for temp and burn time. It for sure isn't oak and hickory! Has a good flavor but an undoubtedly incense/medicinal undertone. Sort of cherry like but weirder.

If I liked smoked fish it would be ok. I prefer hickory, mesquite, and pecan. I'll be one and done after my first bag.

I just make my own.

So it looks like B&B is a nice commercially made but I am intrigued with your post Raindog

Kingsford pro is good, kind of similar to the Weber briquettes. They'll be back in stock at Costco at the middle of this month.

Thanks pb, ill take a look. Glad Kingsford stepped up their game. I wish Coshell and Stubbs were still a thing
