Charcoal Briquettes
-
KenfromMI Yes, most all of their tests are on lump charcoal, and from what I have seen many were tested years ago. It does provide a good starting point, but the biggest limitation is what available in ones area, as many of these charcoals seem to be regional products, and shipping can get really out of hand if ordering online.

Anyone ever try the weber professional briquettes, they are about 2.5x the Kingsford. Don’t think they burn hotter or anything but just adding a ton of kingsford will work.
Parksider yes I have used it. Better than Kingsford not as good as B&B.

Its been a while since Ive been on there. I assumed it was still updated. I guess I was wrong. LOL. They used to do briquettes as well. I can get 18 hours burn in my Weber WSM18 with Kingsford competition using the Minion method and a full ring. Can’t beat the two bag Costco price either.

I checked how much charcoal I had left after the other nights cook, and I have to say I was pretty impressed with the amount that was left.

Tex_77 I’m glad to see that. I imagine that has something to do with B&B not using fillers.
One thing I noticed with the “Char-Logs” was how dense they were. They take a little longer to light, but that’s for a good reason–there’s more there. They burn for flippin’ ever relative to Kingsford briquettes.
I just took a look, and a nearby Academy has B&B briquettes in stock at $8.99 per 17.6 lb sack ($0.51/lb). The same store has Kingsford briquettes for $6.99 per 8 lb sack ($0.87/lb). A better product for roughly 60% of the price per unit. So much for me hearing that B&B was more expensive!
I’m pretty much out of charcoal. I’ll be sure to pick up a couple sacks of B&B.

Tex_77 Sorry, I tried reading through and figuring this out but did you buy this locally or did you pay for shipping? Charcoal/Pellets/Saw Dust are hard to ship inexpensively as they are not only heavy but they are big too.

Jonathon bought locally at my Ace Hardware and Orscheln’s both places carry it. I got the stuff from ACE when they had it in their add one month, and I picked up the last two bags they had at Orcsheln’s last weekend. It’s pretty readily available, I believe it also the official charcoal of SCA cookoffs.

Hello, Thank you for all the kind words about B&B Charcoal products. We are a family owned business based in Texas and established in 1961. We make our products differently and that makes all the difference in the food you prepare. Charcoal and wood fuel is the last ingredient but the first flavor, you can smell that smoky goodness before you take a bite. B&B hand selects species specific wood from private farmers to ensure the highest quality charcoal is made for you. Our briquettes are made exclusively from our oak lump process. We collect the smaller fines and compress the char into large heavy briquettes. We never mix hardwoods, never use industrial scrap wood, never use chemicals or minerals. You’ll always get consistent BTU’s and predictable smoke profile with B&B products. Not all charcoal is made equal, quality matters.

Hey guys, seems like this is someone from B&B Charcoal which is cool cause we are going to look into carrying their product. reillyranch glad to have you here and it seems like people like Tex_77 think highly of your product and while it kills me to say nice things about him (just kidding he is a great guy) he does know his way around a grill/bbq so it has to be a quality product.

Hey Jonathan, this is Ed from B&B. (We’re a small company, so everyone wears many hats) I can’t wait to hear from your followers what they think of B&B products. Outdoor cooking is a great way to bring smoke and flavors together that you can’t get from cooking inside. Plus it brings people together, nothing better than driving into a neighborhood and smelling that great flavor that meat and fire produces.

That thing is a beast!reillyranch You’re just a bit over a stone’s throw from me. Hard to find your XL PREMIUM LUMP CHARCOAL or COMPETITION CHAR-LOGS anywhere near Sealy. Do you sell from your location large orders, like a pallet or some other bulk packaging?

Chef have you had good luck with the char logs? I haven’t tried them yet.
reillyranch Just heard you on the Butcher BBQ Podcast, I really appreciated learning more about your products and how they are made. I’m sure Jonathon and Austin would love to get you on the Meatgistics Podcast sometime!

Hello Chef, Sealy is really close to the factory and you are right down the street from Academy Sports HQ which is one of our biggest customers. Unfortunately we are not set up for individual sales at this time. B&B Char-logs are a patented product that we make from the smaller fines of the briquettes. They are extruded at 3x the PSI as the briquettes so they are very dense and burn hot! Currently there is a tremendous demand for our charcoal products and we have increased production almost 40%. But the demand is up 60% so many consumers are finding empty shelves. One option is to order on line at Ace Hardware main website, they will deliver it for free to the nearest Ace Store. Thanks for choosing B&B!
