Hibachi Pot
Found some matches.
Ever since Weber quit selling an excellent product the search is on again.
I feel the frustration from an older post!
Went through this with Stubbs briquettes, only they changed their vendor to a poorer quality briq.
For 1-season Trader Joe had an excellent briquette, then it never came back the next grilling season. (I grill year-round but it seems like most of the stores around here have limited selections if it's not summertime)
Just when i found an excellent alternative, Weber stops selling yet another excellent product.
All of these briqs were large, thick, dense, burned hot and long, generated low odor & ash and were exactly what I needed for my 1960's made in Japan ceramic charcoal cooker/smoker that has since been copied several times by companies like green egg and Kamado etc.
Now I'm using Jealous Dev** briquettes because it's the closest thing I can find that works. I hate the name but like the way it performs.
All these flat briqs like kingsford and all the others that squash their briquettes in the manufacturing process to stamp their Logo on it, light fast but burn out too quickly. I would rather wait an extra 5-mins in the charcoal lighting process in order to cook about 4 more courses on the grill before the temp starts to die.
Found 2 sellers of J.D. in my area, Barbeques Galore, and The Woodshed, but still haven't found another brand that I thought was comparable...
