It was rainy today so I watched a bunch of bbq'ing videos... in one it was suggested older briquettes could burn differently but they didn't elaborate if it would burn faster or slower. I'm pretty sure the comment was focused on the age of the briquette and not changes in formulation.
In my case today I started using a 2-pack of standard Kingsford that has been stored in my garage for maybe 8 years, give or take a couple years. It looks fine and burned OK, but I did have some temp fluctuations of 50 to 75 degrees and was wondering if old briquettes were behind that. Could have been due to a handful of other factors too.
So...old briquettes...any downside to know about ?
