Cowboy Stubbs

[Serious Hog]

So went into Lowe's and found that Stubbs charcoal briquettes are now rebranded as Cowboy. Been using Stubbs a long time and love it. I'm pretty sure Cowboy has been distributing Stubbs for years anyway, but does anyone know if this new packaging means a difference in quality or who/how it gets produced?

Picked up a bag and basically looks the same to me, smoking a few butts with it today and will see how it goes. Thanks and Happy Labor Day!

This might explain why I can't seem to find any Stubbs now.

I have heard the SKU's are the same. It's probably just rebranded.

One of my Lowe's has cowboy, the other has Stubb's

Look similar

Glad I saw this. I got 2 bags of Stubb's left and would be ticked if I couldn't find it when I ran out. I'll look for Cowboy.

Good observation, I was in Lowe's on Friday looking to pick up Stubbs. A bag of Cowboy briqs was busted open and looked remarkably similar to Stubbs...

I did not pick any up as I was skeptical, should have. But I did get Royal Oak briqs at 2 bags for $8. Thanks!

Both are made by duraflame, I believe they're identical

We bought the Cowboy/Stubbs and the Royal Oak 2 for $8, can never have too much!!

Yup, that's it and it worked great! Been cooking all day at 325-350 on one bag. I can't tell any difference from Stubbs. Pulled Pork and Smoked Squash Casserole and Smoked Corn in the husk turned out amazing.
