Trying to find awesome charcoal

Postby JBC23 » Tue Feb 14, 2017 2:22 pm

I've been having a lot of trouble lately finding a good charcoal for my grill. I grill a lot so I want a high quality product, but I also don't want to constantly be buying new charcoal. Anyone got an idea of a charcoal that might suit my needs? Thanks in advance.

Depends on what you like. More and more I find myself using B&B lump. Especially like the mesquite lump when grilling a nice steak or burger. The only thing I don't like is the sparking…if it's windy and dry, could be a bad combo.

I agree, in Texas the most consistent GOOD charcoal is B&B
either briquets or lump

I have been wanting to try the B & B briquettes. Also has anyone tried the Weber brand?

Hard for me to use anything other than Kingsford original. It goes on sale for 1/2 price during the summer holidays every year and I stock up. I probably use over a pallet per year.

Kingsford Blue, nothing else seems to stay in stock around here, I hate changing too.
