B and B oak/hickory briquettes?

[LouieD]

Has anyone used this blend yet as my Ace hardware only has this blend now.Can you really taste the difference between the regular oak and this blend as I am not a hickory fan.Thanks

Hi Louie,
I've tried them. The hickory flavor is there, but less pronounced than using hickory wood chunks. It was a bit strong for my taste but I rarely smoke with hickory. Others might know better.

Thanks Tim for the response

Check wallyworld. You can get regular orange bag Oak B&B or Cowboy briqs which are just as good IMO and usually cheaper.

Checked Walmart did not have any individual bags but had the oak and hickory plus they had 4 bags of oak for 150.00 have no idea what that is all about.They had the oak and hickory for 9.97 per bag so I grabbed them for that price

Walmart has run on line specials on the Oak & Hickory the last few years for $9.97/17.6# bag and finally started stocking it, off & on, in our local store for the same price. Like @timothy says, they also have Cowboy briquettes 2 x 20# for $17.92, the same price they get for 2 x 16# of KBB. Used to be a Kingsford fan but have gone to Cowboy and B&B for the last few years. Both good fuels. I like the big B&B briqs for longer cooks, so usually keep a bag around. I don't find a noticeable difference in flavor between the 2.
