My buddy manages a Lowes I asked him about their carrying it, and the rumblings on many boards it is not being stocked up anymore up here. He said that they are losing the chips, but the charcoal is staying around, just a smaller amount of shelf space, as another brand is buying more space.

If you're using K now, try some stubbs and you'll never go back. Has the consistancy you wont find with K.

Been using Stubb's briqs for 3-4 months now. No problems. Burns hot, minimum ash, no off taste or smell. Good stuff.

So does everyone in the BBQ world,That's the trade off of briq vs lump.I would love to find one too.Not all brands are carried all over.I just bought 2 bags of Maple Leaf briq's and am trying it.Their lump is one of the best so I thought there briq's must be good too.

Does stubbs have similar ash production as wicked good briquettes? The naked whiz does mostltly lump charcoal and they have a good write up on wicked good briquettes is stubbs similar.

Thanks to this thread. Just went down to lowes and picked up a bag of stubbs. I love going all natural routes vs chemical routes any day. I almost bought the kingford comp but the borax is a turn off. Stubbs is all natural and ill test it out tomorrow. Ill chime back with my impressions.
Side note, just used some royal oak and i wasnt exactly impressed. Only had about 8 hours from a full basket in my UDS, where i normally get 12 hours easy with a full basket with charcoal. Food didnt have any unnecessary tastes to it, so that is a plus. Biggest turn off was the white flakes(similar to paper being burn) flying around from the royal. not sure if there was paper there or not, i didnt sort it at the beginning. Error is on RO part though. kris |

There are better natural charcoal briqs out there, but I absolutely would not put this one at the bottom of the heap of "the worst" Have you had better sucess with something else? Please tell... always looking for a better briq!

Only way to know for sure is to try it. This isn't a commitment for the rest of your life, it's 1 farkin' bag. Buy it, burn it, then make a decision!
