B&B Charcoal Competition Oak Charcoal Briquets 17.6 Pound

I love this charcoal for some reason it smells really good and adds a good flavor to what ever your grilling. Also it doesn't put out a lot of nasty smoke while it gets hot compared to other brands

The go to Charcoal for gravity smokers

The product is great been using it for years. But this review is for Walmart delivery. 4 bags of charcoal in a weakAzz box they expected to survive handling FEDEX and delivered in Michigan winter. Shipping from the local store is great, they ship in sealed plastic bags. So know I have a snow/rain soaked shipping box and 2 bags of damp charcoal. Do better Walmart

I'm pretty positive that this is my first time buying and using this charcoal, I was very impressed with the fact that I personally had better results than with a big name competitor brand. I will most definitely be using this from here on out..HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Kingsford used to be a great product. But it's been reformulated a few times and with they way they price it, you'd think it's made of gold, and not limestone filler. This is a quality briquette and about the lowest price per pound you will find anywhere. Easy to light in a chimney. The fire burns clean. It works well for grilling or smoking. I prefer the Texas Style briquette (all orange bag), which seems to burn a little bit better. But it's $15 per bag. This stuff is 90% as good and much less expensive.

Nice, slow burning, easy to start (I use a charcoal chimney with a homemade fire starter), great flavor. I would never pay over $30 for a bag of charcoal, that's a ridiculous price. However I bought it on sale for 9.97 a bag, which was a fair price.

I would never ever pay full price for these. However, that is me and I am cheap. I got mine on deep clearance. They seem like they are a real nice, but I also blend my charcoal over real wood. The blended smoke flavor was very nice and these did seem to burn for longer than most other charcoal I use. I can only speak very very well of them, but can't give many specifics, as they were the outer rim of a wood fire. They did very light well considering they were not in a pyramid and they stayed lit for a very long time.

I am disappointed with current formulation of B%26B Charcoal Competition Oak Charcoal Briquets. The original B%26B Oak Briquettes produced more consistent heat and produced nowhere near the amount of ash of the "New" B %26 B Oak and Hickory Briquettes. I still have a couple of bags of B%26B Oak Briquettes', but after my stash is gone I will be looking for a new brand. I've used B%26B products for years and will still use B%26B Oak Lump Charcoal, but no more B%26B briquettes for me.

I do like the size of these and they do put out some heat BUT the biggest issue I have with it is when you go to move the coals when they are ready. They crumble to pieces and immediately lose their heat. As soon as you touch them they turn into a pile of ash.

great product but shipping sucks! I ordered three bags before and all were shipped in boxes and undamaged. I placed another order for two bags. They shipped the charcoal just in the bag. both bags came damaged and opened. tons of the briquettes were crushed. Won't order again!
