[klflowers]

Thanks. I need to stock up.

I seem to remember getting irritated with Kingsford Professional last summer. I happened to look at my charcoal pile in the garage last night and I had no Kingsford which supports my recollection. I'll probably pass on this unless someone convinces me otherwise.

[Joey877]

Panhead John I am pretty sure I am remembering KP, but it may have been a different variety of Kingsford that irritated me last year.

[Attjack]

I use it and like it.

[Soonerpop]

I’ve stocked up for years when it goes on sale at Costco, burns longer and less ash than KBB. However, I agree with Panhead John ( that sounds weird, doesn’t it?) that B&B is my go to now at about the same price as the KP on sale.

[efincoop]

I picked some up while visiting my daughter & son-in-law a few weeks back at the Costco in NH. I have not been able to find B&B any place in the Northeast.

[Panhead John]

Any Ace Hardware or Academy stores near you?

[efincoop]

No Academy Sports stores, but we do have Ace Hardware stores nearby, I'll check there soon. Thanks Panhead John !

[Panhead John]

You’re quite welcome buddy….from what I’ve heard, if your Ace is out of B&B you can order it online and have it delivered free to the store.

Kingsford Pro also available for that price in Chicago area.

I have to try some of those other brands, particularly on longer cooks. I've been using KP for the most part the last few years and may not know what I'm missing.

[Panhead John]

Murdy You might have heard me say this already, but a while back I was doing a brisket cook and was trying B&B for the first time. As soon as I lit it, I noticed less dirty smoke and a more pleasant smell than my KBB. On my Bronco, full basket, I smoked the brisket for 9 hours before done. When I removed the brisket I probably had at least 2 more hours of coals left. Been a fan ever since. Joey877 said the same about Kingsford. 👆

[radiodome21]

Yes I saw this too the last time I was at Costco and I picked it up. While I like it I don’t love it and will try the B&B the next time I’m at ace. I used KBB for the first time in the fall and winter and I liked that as well.

[Troutman]

I use KP all the time, just went and got 6 bags (the limit). I agree B&B (which sells for about 50 cent more a bag at Academy) burns a little cleaner and are a little bigger so last longer. Other than that I dare you in a blind taste test to tell me the difference.

Besides, I'm a cheap bastard and go for the cheapest brand I can find. I also resemble this bastard.....

[Panhead John]

Resemble my ass! That IS you……

[Troutman]

I guarantee you 20 years ago when I still had red hair and as fat as I am right now, that IS ME

[Huskee]

Do ya wunt sum chikun?

[Huskee]

Good deal. Dang I just picked up a twin 20lb pack of blue bag for $29.xx (eek!) at the local Farm & Fleet store this morning. I was out, and planned to cook ribs today, and they had it, so...

Just searched and my local Sam's has the twin 20's of KBB for $18.48, and Home Depot has 'em for $17.88. sigh....

[Steve R.]

You're going to need them again eventually. Stock up!

That's what I tell myself every time I stroll through the grill and smoker section at Academy and they happen to have the B&B oak briquettes in stock for $8.99.

[RichieB]

Ouch, just got them last week at H.D. for $18ish. got 60#.

[HawkerXP]

You only left 3 bags for us?

[jumbo7676]

That's just the top of the 4-foot stack so I could get the price in the picture. I actually did't buy any. I probably have enough kbb, Kingsford pro, and Fogo to last a long time.

[zinfella]

Everybody likes a good deal, so savin bucks, when you can, always gets my attention. But, read on.

When I'm twant'n to cook low and slow, 2225Ëš neighborhood, I prefer Kingsford Original, because it burns lower and longer than the Pro version. YMMV
