    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.

                      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!

                            Tex_77 the char logs are a bit harder to start, but much hotter and much longer burns. I find it cheaper in the long run. At this point I’m trying to stockpile a supply, believing there are going to be many people, especially in my small community, that will be hurting. I bit of warm food and a shoulder to lean on can help many people. Hope I don’t need to go there, but just in case…

                              I have heard the quote “cooks care”, and I think that goes double for outdoor cooks. Nobody cooks outdoors just for themselves, there is always family, friends, team or the community nearby. That smoky flavor spreads out through the neighborhood stirring up appetites and putting everyone in a good mood. Thank you bringing the B&B family along.

                                Chef yes sir I understand completely. We were swept by wildfires a few years ago, and we provided food to some families who lost everything and seeing the devastation on thier faces hurt. The smile on thier faces from a hot meal though, that was priceless.

                                    Hello Cdavis, thank you for your support! The big charcoal companies don’t want you to know what’s in their products so they never talk about it. The B&B difference is real and that story needs to be told. The small particulates that form the smoke that bathes your food is ingested into your body. It should matter were it was sourced and what is or isn’t added to it. B&B charcoal products are 100% natural pure wood products, it makes a difference. Thank you for choosing B&B!

                                        Chef that is one nice looking smoker you’ve got there and a beautiful background for the picture. Congrats and happy new year.

                                          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!

                                          Tex_77 I’m a big fan of the Char-Logs for long cooks. I picked some up on a lark a couple years ago, and I was sold from the start.
