Jealous Devil - non lump products

[Todd K Wisc]

I see Jealous Devil has a new product call Flex which looks like unburned, compressed wood: https://www.jealousdevil.com/flex-hardwood-briquets

They also have a product I have never seen, but not sure it is new called Hex, which reminds me of B&B char logs. https://www.jealousdevil.com/hex-supernatural-charcoal

Anyone used either of these for BBQ, low and slow, etc.?

I've always liked JD, I'll have to look for these

Man the JD products look great......I am lucky enough to get regular JD....I will never see this in a store but they do look awesome.

I'm not a fan of their regular briquettes for anything other than low and slow. I haven't tried either of these but I'm intrigued. Their lump is fantastic.

I use their briquettes for low and slow. They have a darker ash when done, but work well. With B&B killing their Oak briquettes, I am going to these for LAS.

Interested to see some of your reviews. I wasnt a fan of B&B char logs for L&S esp in my kamado. Had an off smell and taste to the meat.
Now JD briqs work great in my kamado as does the lump.

Ironically had the opposite with JD. Every time I used it it gave off an odd ammonia smell in my WSM. It happened with multiple bags. They’re all stored in my garage away from the elements, and animals (if you know where I’m going with that). Never had that smell with B&B or Kingsford.

Which one? The briqs, lump or the new extruded ones?
