Richard, if you think of the things coming off your grill is “What it is” I need to adjust my concept of reality!

IMO start-Up charcoal grilling requires very little dollars, however, in the long-run it appears to be more expensive than the pellet, gas and electric grills due to the pellets, propane and electricity that keeps them running goes further than charcoal and thus saving dollars.

I looked into fuel costs some time ago. If cost is a key factor, it may be cheaper to cook indoors. ( yeah, what fun is that )
I recall the fuel cost from least expensive to most expensive:
Electric
Natural Gas
Pellets
Propane
Charcoal
Fuel cost is part of the total cost of good food and not all fuel can deliver the same flavor.

I got in on the same deal. Bought 4 bags and so far I've used it two times and really like it. Im a Kingsford pro guy otherwise.

Brian. Good point. Not only is inflation whacking us but shrinkflation is adding to the misery. Packaged sausage went from 160z to 12oz and will prolly go smaller.

Better late then never. This charcoal sells for under $10 all the time at Academy Sports if they are available in your area. It is superior to KBB, specifically in less ash & longer burn times, excels for low & slow.

I do have an Academy Sports locally, which is where I buy B&B lump. So now I have a single source for all my charcoal and smoking wood needs. Order online, drive up, and they bring it out to the car. Now, if they would just put in a meat department...Better late then never. This charcoal sells for under $10 all the time at Academy Sports if they are available in your area.

Hi Chris,Kingsford Professional is basically wood char + a starch binder + a tiny bit of borax so the briquets release cleanly from the pressing machine. I've not used it much for barbecuing but have used it some for grilling. I've not used it enough to have an opinion about flavor differences.

Kingsford Competition Briquets - New For 2009 - The Virtual Weber Bullet
Information about Kingsford Competition Briquets, new for 2009. In 2016, this product was renamed Kingsford Professional Briquets.
What are you using in the Smokey Mountain these days? I have always stocked up on the Kingsford professional when Costco has their spring sales but I missed it this year. I hate the smell of the original Kingsford as it is starting up.
I'm still burning down the remainder of my stash of Kingsford Original. I've got several bags of Kingsford Professional that I may start using. When those are gone, not sure what I'll do.
