B and B oak/hickory briquettes?


 
Sounds like a cost cutting move. Cheaper to use a blend then all Oak.
My Son just picked up 4 bags of the new. I need to ask him what's his take as he's a long time orange bag user.
 
Picking up a bag of competition oak & hickory to try on new Smokey Joe. As Tim says, it's always a cost cutting move nowadays, but I'll see how they burn. TH couldn't tell any difference on the flavor so we'll see.
 
Here is what I got from Duraflame consumer affairs:

"Hey Todd,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

While we haven’t discontinued the Oak briquets, they are being phased out and replaced with the new Oak and Hickory briquets.

I know that this wasn’t the answer you were looking for but I hope I could help clarify.

Duraflame also makes Cowboy and my Son says the new stuff is not as good as the old. ( funky smell )
That's a bummer cause the old was like rebranded Stubbs.
 
This seems like a huge mistake. I will be switching to JD or FOGO briquettes. It only took them about 4 years to kill B&B. These once fine brands that get gobbled up and killed.
 
Wife got home from Ace and said the new B&B n/g, brought a bag of FOGO so dying to try it out. Just assembled my new Smokey Joe picked up new in box yesterday for $15! Also found a new chimney at Walmart for $5 so I got back into charcoal for a bargain! Burgers tonight for trial, but perhaps ribeyes over the weekend!

Not discontinued but phased out and not going to be available anymore... :unsure: funny how some people see things.
Thanks for the information. Too bad they are making this change.

closeout at Walmart as they don't carry Weber any more-lucky find. btw-the FOGO worked out great! Burned just right, maintained temps a lot like Kingsford Pro, and the net result was the best burgers I've ever done.
