Weber Charcoal Discontinued

Interesting that it seems premium priced in many places. In my area, I can get it for 20$ CDN for a 20 lbs bag. That’s about 2$ CDN more than Kingford’s at local Wal-Mart. I have had great results with the Weber charcoal and I am going to go stock up today!!!

I bet this will be a time to get a deal.

I have never tried the stuff, but I always just figured it was similar too Kingsford. Which is great charcoal. Sounds like Kingsford is, indeed, the king of briquettes.

That sucks. I loved the weber charcoal. I have a few bags left but this all seems to add up since i havent been able to order through ACE for a while now.

I still have a half dozen bags from the 3.99 sale. I like it a lot. I don't think I would pay full price for it. I'd rather get FOGO...but for briquettes it was great.

I absolutely loved the Weber briquettes for long cooks and am completely bummed its been discontinued. I hit up my local Ace where I've been able to get it for the past year+ and they didn't have any on the shelves. I asked, and was told the same - its been discontinued. KBB is fine for most things for me, but I did two 10+lb butts on Wednesday and had to refuel - the Weber briquettes would've lasted. They didn't burn as hot and produced a lot of ash, but man they'd burn forever for those long low & slow cooks. There was a cool test with results posted in 2017 that compared KBB, Kingsford Professional, Kingsford Long Burning (not), and Weber in various ways. I suppose I'll try B&B.

Sad to see it go. I've not had anyone local carry it since the end of 2018, when I stocked up on a bunch on clearance. I've been burning through a stack of KBB and Kingsford all bought in 2018, along with a few test bags of B&B I got at Academy last Thanksgiving. I will likely switch over entirely to B&B once my stockpile is depleted.

I used to use a full bag every smoke with the offset. Using the kettle, I get so many more cooks per bag of charcoal that its put me off using the offset unless it just won't fit the kettle.

I bought a ton of it...literally when it was 2 $ a bag, down to my last two bags
