Been seeing bags of these in my HEB grocery store but have never tried them. Seems the Franklin merc department is giving his barbecue a run for the money in sales !! Anyway, I have completely run out of Kingsford and grabbed a bag to smoke some meat with this weekend and was suitably impressed. Burned real nice in my SNS, not quite as hot as Kingsford but had a real nice smoky flavor. Apparently it's made from post oak and pressed with starch as a binder versus gypsum that Kingsford uses. Less initial burn smoke. Kind of reminded me of Weber briquettes.
Anyway, thought I'd share, I don't see them around much. Was expensive though, 12 pound bag was $11.31, not much of a bargain when Kingsford sells for half that (or less on sale).
