Collecting briqs
Ok I consider myself a bit of a lump snob.
But now I have an interest in a good natural briq for my coal base in my offset since the lump burns pretty fast... Yesterday, I bought my first bag of Stubbs, thought I would give it a try this weekend Then today I go to Trader Joes after work to pick up some fish for the grill for dinner, what do I see??? A brand new pallet of their own briqs, which I have never tried either, the Trader Joes is brand new in my area. So a bag of that jumped in my shopping cart too Oh then I stopped at Gordons Foods and picked up a nice little brisket, the briqs will need someone to play with this weekend |

Nice! I've heard good things about the TJ brand briqs. Never actually used them though...
I'm a Stubbs guy myself so I'm biased towards those. I think you'll like 'em.

That's why I use natural briqs.
If you have a DoIt Best hardware store nearby, you can order 40 lb bags of Royal Oak Chefs Select natural briqs and ship to store for free. Great charcoal.
