I believe the Brethren's consensus is:
- Stubb's is the bomb, the only one to use
- KBB is loaded with nuclear waste fillers
- Don't use briquettes, use lump as it runs hotter with less ash
- Don't like lump, runs too hot and the pieces are not uniform in size
- KBB is most consistent and you can really load up during the holiday sales
- KBB smells terrible
- Stubb's has an off-putting smell and takes longer to ash over
- Royal oak is the best one out there
- Check out Trader Joe's brand
- Who uses charcoal, use splits
Edit. Sorry forgot a few:
- Kingsford Comp is better than Stubb's
- Stubb's is better than Kingsford Comp
- Kingsford Comp and Stubb's are about the same
- Stubb's produces much less ash than KBB
- Why buy charcoal when you can make your own?
In the past Month I have tried all these in my gravity feed
KBB, Kingsford Comp, Royal Oak lump and Royal Oak Briqs
Flavor wise I haven't noticed a difference between any of them
The only difference has been the ash that is produced between them.
So in the End , I've loaded up on the Walmart Backyard Grill ( Royal Oak Ridge) Briquettes. They burn well and cheap . $5 for 16 or so pounds of it.
-GFS is made by royal oak

Asking for recommendations on what brand of charcoal to use is like asking folks what kind of truck to buy. There's always going to be chevy, ford or dodge folks. Each person chooses their brand based on different criteria and expectations. Personally, I'm usually hauling Kingsford Professional in the back of my chevy truck when I drive home from Costco....but if I saw a ford with the right price, reviews, and features I wanted....who knows, I might switch.
In my opinion of the stuff I can get I rank them royal oak chef select first, kingsford competition second and stubbs third. They are ranked that way because I cook with my nose and of those three chef select smells the best while burning. I don't know what's happened to stubbs in the last year but I'll be danged if it doesn't take forever to get tbs running the minion method nowadays. And even then the smell is kinda off.
So....
1.Chef select natural briquettes by royal oak
2. Kingsford competition
3. Stubbs
4. All the other briquettes from kingsford, royal oak, embers ect.
.....I'm glad this was just briqettes. If it was lump it gets harder.lol
