I have used Sam's Choice Briquettes for years and my cooker eats 'em up like a fat kid eats cake. Along with splits it burns like a WSM.
This weekend, I had issues, bad. I couldn't keep my cooker up to temp to save my life. I found out later in the morning that it was because my fire basket was getting choked with ash. This has never been an issue for me.
Reason I'm posting is, my boss bought a bag of K at the same store I got the Sam's last week and said he couldn't get his kettle hot to save his life.
What are the odds that this particular store had ALL their charcoal get wet and just let it dry and sold it??
I want to get good burns and if I have to switch fuel I will, but the Sam's stuff is sooo cheap and that's important when you cook on a fuel hog.
Anyone else experience this?
