For those that haven't heard, in January 2009 Kingsford will start shipping a new pressed lump briquette product called "Competition Briquettes". In other words, it's their OCC Rancher-killer. I heard an interview with Chris Lilly and he is excited about it. He helped them with the R&D.

It will be available nationwide (Home Depot) in April. The suggested retail will be $9.49 for a 12-lb bag and $16.99 for a two-pack of 16.5-lb bags.

Just a heads up,
John
 
Bring it on! Rancher is dead as far as I'm concerned-except for the 8 bags I have in my shed.
 
I'm intrigued.

I'm not sure I'm going to pay top dollar for the stuff, but I'll give anything (almost) a try.
 
I'm still jazzed about the Stubb's Hardwood briqs, but the only place I see it is my local QFC, next to the Match Light!
 
Ill give it a shot. If good, I'll run with it. dallas is apparently Kingsford country anyways. Dont have much to choose from when it comes to coal.
 
I am curious and will try it when it comes around here.
 
they gave it away at the royal. We used it for the invitational and i had a few bags left and use dthem at the jack.

didnt see the difference in the spicewine. Not sure what makes it so special(read as "more expensive").

Hmmmm,

Then I'm stocking up on RO Coal on Christmas when I'm at home in Arkansas.

I'll still try it out.

Is this going to be the standard set coal, or will the regular K still be an option?
 
I do believe, based on the weight it felt compared to regular charcoal, that this is pressed lump. Will get a bag to burn in the egg. Scott
 
So it sounds like they are going to put the good Rancher stuff into the Kingsford bag and then charge more for it. Why not keep it in the Rancher bags and sell for cheap like they once did? The Rancher was good stuff. I'll probably end up buying it instead of the Kingsford just because of th egreat burn times I got with it. Only bad part is, like with everything else, we'll be paying more for it.

Thankfully I am down to my last two bags of rancher although the old price of $2.99 was quite attractive:mrgreen: I dont mind grilling on Rancher but I get way too much swirling ash in the UDS with it. I have been using regular K in the drum with good success and will experiment with the new version next year.
 
I think the new Kingsford was designed to be used solely for cooking on a spicewine....so if you don't own one, you can't use it.......:tongue::twisted:
