jpietrantone the only problem I have with the char logs is that they are just not a great fit for use with the SNS, as their size is such that not many fit into the SNS basket.

As others have said, Weber discontinued their briquettes. I am almost done burning the very last bag I had of them, purchased on clearance in December 2019. My new favorite charcoal is B&B, and I've used their lump, briquettes and char-logs at this point. Their briquettes seem to have fewer fillers than KBB, and produce less ash.
The briquettes I advise you stay away from with your WSM are Royal Oak. I like the aroma from the RO briquettes - it has much less of a chemical smell than KBB to me - but it is the shortest burning one I have tested in my Weber Kettle with the Slow 'N Sear. I got 5-6 hours on a load, versus 7-8 with KBB, 10+ with B&B and 12+ with Weber.

Over on another forum, it has been reported that Weber Charcoal has been discontinued. It seems pretty credible with reports from the CEO's assistant and an e-mail campaign directly to this assistant trying to get them to change their minds. It's not available at Weber directly and ACE supposedly has discontinued stores being
I had just discovered it and was growing very fond of it producing far less ash and less start up stink compared to KBB. I'll probably be looking for B&B when my little stockpile of Weber charcoal is depleted. After watching the last year unfold, my guess is that whomever was manufacturing it (Royal Oak most likely) wasn't willing to bargain much with Weber during unprecedented demands for charcoal and likely being unable to keep up with demand for their own branded products.
Unfortunately my favorite briquettes by far were the weber briquettes. They are no longer sold. Been that way for about a year now. Best second option for me is the blues hog briquettes.
My fave brand of charcoal for the WSM is Cowboy. They give me the most burn time for dollar spent. But not super easy to find near where I live. My fall back is KBB or Kingsford Pro.
