I was so pleased with this purchase that I wanted you all know about it!
Background: I live in an area that does not provide a lot of options for the grilling/smoking fanatic which I find myself, and so I constantly do research to figure out the best deal I can get my hands on, mostly to find the way I can stretch my dollar the farthest since I don’t have much money and an currently unemployed.
Thus, I created a spreadsheet of all my options for “all-natural” hardwood briquettes, and found that the best option for me is Royal Oak Chef’s Select Hardwood Briquets [sic] ordered online from doitbest.com. This product on that site is only available via ship-to-store, but the shipping is FREE. Their price is $17.99 for a 40-lb bag, which works out to be only 48¢/lb., and compared to Lowe’s price of $8.49 for a 15-lb bag of Stubb’s hardwood briquettes (60¢/lb.), I save 12¢/lb.
As for the ship-to-store, there is only ONE location in my area that accepts these from doitbest.com, but it is only less than 10 miles from my house.
So, on 02/27 I placed my order, and by 03/02 I got an email saying it was in! I had ordered 80-lbs of hardwood briquettes, and I am ready for Smoke Day VII!!
Funny that these are marked "Food Service; Not For Resale". Guess I'll need to open my kitchen up to the neighborhood, eh?
