This is probably more relevant to UK based people, But the fuel I've been using since getting my WSM a year ago is "Weber Heat Beads".
Compared to some alternatives the price looks scary but in practice it's very ecomomical.
Saturday's Brisket somke for instance: Lit up one chimney of fuel at 0700, into the charcaol ring at 0720ish, filled the ring with more bricquettes, and put the meat in at 0745.
Temperature stablised at around 230 within 30 mins and with only minor adjustment of vents every hour stayed there untill 1730 when I took the Brisket off, foiled and into the oven.
I closed all the vents and let the fire die. When cool, a good 50% of the fuel is unburnt and reusable next time.
The brisket was for a friend's Silver Wedding party and got RAVE reviews. I've no idea how it compares to the BBQ you guys produce, but I've got to say it is pretty damn good!
