I just saw this and thought some might be interested. First up in the article is bincho-tan and it has been discussed herein the past.

The coconut seems to be the cheapest by far, and about the same as regular KBB not on sale.

I guess I should clarify that they say alternative to charcoal briquettes.

Either way, bincho-tan is good, but Kobe-expensive. I've tried the coconut briquettes, a few bags, and they work just fine. The quebracho is a favorite around here with experienced pit masters, it is great for long low 'n slow cooks.
