B&B Briquettes

Finster My experience is they have a better start up smell, but don't burn any different than KBB.

How do you like the Kingsford Pro?
I grabbed a 2 pack at costco because that was all they had. Haven't used it yet, but supposed to have less additives than kbb

[Jerod Broussard]

I don't. It's overkill unless you grilling for 100. Long cooks it is the ticket.

I use 2 chimney's of kbb in my stick burner (one lit the other base) to start my fire.
I use kbb in the weber for pretty much everything else. Reverse sear steak, chicken, burgers etc.
Should I try b&b for my regular grilling? There is a wee bit o Scot in me, so I'm trying to be "frugal"

B&B is the only briquette I'll buy. Works great for me. Their lump is good too.

[Finster]

Gonna have to give the B&B a try.
they are my go to lump, but haven't tried the briquettes..
Cowboy (repackaged Stubbs) briquettes and/or Kingsford original are what I currently use

I agree that B&B briquettes are worth using for medium to long cooks. It takes a bit longer to get them going sometimes, but lasts a long time. I like using lump for short cooks and B&B briquettes for the longer cooks. It is easier on our stomachs than KBB and has a better smell and taste overall.

Razor Back in 2018. I bought a pallet of them lol.

When was that?!

They do occasional sales ($10/bag or so). Sadly, it's the only option here since there are no Academy's in this state.

[rickgregory]

This is my take too - if you're just grilling something, KBB is fine. But B&B is longer burning, so for things that will go hours, it's my choice now.

[Rod]

I'm in the camp of using KBB for quicker cooks (Vortex wings, burgers, etc.) and B&B for the long cooks. I still have a couple bags of Weber that I think are even better than B&B, but you can't get them in the states anymore. So I treat them like gold.

[Murdy]

I've been running Kingsford Pro from Costco for a long time. Guess I'll have to try this stuff too.

Here is a (horrible) photo of B&B and KBB side by side. B&B is on the left. It is slightly lager from briquette to briquette and has a slightly denser feel. The photo below is how I cook through 12+ hours in the Bronco. This is the first layer of B&B briquettes and char-logs before filling the basket with more briquettes to the top.

10-4 those spuds look fantastic....
I will never go back to KBB, just don't like them.
