    Cowboy Brand Briquets

    Not the abominable lump from Cowboy Brand …. Their briquets are pretty darn good, actually. Had a long cook today on the SNS Kettle/Insert. Filled the insert full, pulled out 15 briquets and lit them in a small chimney. They were good and hot in about 10-12 minutes. Added them back to the SNS and let it come up to temp (250’ish is where I like it). Ran that from 4:30 AM until 11:00 AM, about 3/4 of the briquets were consumed, so I refilled. That ran at 250’ish until about 2:00 PM when I pulled the meat off. About 1/3 of the insert’s charcoal was consumed.

    All in all, they burned as hot as Kingsford Pro, but much slower …. Probably would have used 1.5 inserts worth of KP to get the same temp and time.

    Definitely recommend.

    I wish I could find these but no luck. I see that damn Cowboy lump all the time though.

    I love the cowboy briqs. Took a chance on them last fall when they were on clearance at costco. Had I known I w er would like them so much, I would have bought all they had...

        My local hardware store carries Cowboy Brand briq’s. During the worst of the lockdowns, when I couldn’t find anything else, I discovered these.

      Burgers and dogs on the kettle using the vortex as my hot zone. Full chimney of coals...
      3 hours after lighting and temps still running 350ish...
      love these briqs.
