STEbbq I remember the posts and I agree, but I still could not resist..I need charcoal counseling ! And based on the amount of dust on these bags, they have been properly aged at the store.

I like embers over KBB. I’ve switched to Cowboy hardwood briquettes but always felt embers resembled what KBB used to be like in the past before the newer formulas.

It is not in Cincy yet. The guy in the back said it has a sched for del. just not yet. Guess they missed the season this year.
Still seeing kirkland pellets for $12.95 = 40 lbs all the way in back.

I have not seen seen the Kirkland pellets nor the briquettes at my local Costco.

I'm pretty much just using KBB in the chimney to get my B&B going. May give this a try for that price. Thanks for sharing.

UPDATE: I lit up the el cheapo Embers charcoal in my chimney and they generated a lot of smoke. Once the smoke died off, I poured them into my Vortex and they were fine for the wings and jalapeño poppers we had during the Cowboy/Giants game.

Maybe they upped their game a tiny bit since 2022?!?!
