Thoughts on Charcoal

[16Adams]

I do more grilling than smoking. My experience is that pretty much all briquettes sold do an acceptable job of grilling and a base of coals fo smok'n. Some burn hotter, some light faster, some slower, some make yellow ash some gray, some smoke like railroad ties some like a dry twig. However, once they are ashed over they've all been fine to grill with.

I always have multiple makes and models of lump, briquettes and pellets. I enjoy the difference some subtle some huge.
For me and fuel, that's where the fun is.

I've been grilling/smoking with B&B briquettes over the past few months and feel they are an upgrade from Kingsford (which I still have several bags that I bought from Costco). They burn really clean and last longer in my opinion. I've never noticed any bad smell. But I'm almost out, so I guess I'll see if the quality has changed when I buy some more. I still like Kingsford, btw, and will continue to use them as well.

I use Kingsford for hot and fast cooks (steaks) in the kettle, and B&B for longer cooks on the 980

We use kingsford to start our campfires and fire pit

But now Wally World has Cowboy for cheaper so….

Really no need to buy that King stuffs
