Chuck Eyes and a charcoal burn off test

[Steve Porter]

Great pics of the charcoal and and the meal! Is Kingsford Competition supposed to be better than Original? I don't think I've ever seen Competition, Trader Joes, or even Stubbs for that matter, where can you find these?

Is Kingsford Competition supposed to be better than Original?

Here's an article I wrote about Competition K a few years back: Kingsford Competition Briquets - New For 2009

Here in California, it's found commonly at Costco during the grilling season ($4.30 discount during the month of March for 2/18 lb bags), at better supermarkets, and some Home Depot stores.

Steve, Lowes sells Stubbs (the ONLY place I've seen it), Kingsford Comp is sold at most grocery stores in the Milwaukee area... and Trader Joes, I've only seen AT Trader Joes in Bayshore Mall, north side of Milwaukee.

Great chucks. Wonder what the cost comparison would be between two charcoals and time burned by amount needed, especially when one can buy the K on sale several times a year?......................d

Nice briquette test Bob. Thanks for the info.
Love the steaks and sides. Keep warm! I do believe you had some weather out your way just recently...

Great looking meal! Thanks for the briquette test!

That's pretty sweet. Go science. The geek in me wants to try the same experiment.
