I will have you know, I was at my local Academy Sports yesterday & I only bought one bag of B & B lump. I actually left the other 10 bags of B & B orange on the shelf, even though they only cost $8.99/bag, it was hard to pass on, but I restrained myself.
Atta boy, saving some for the rest of us.
I got my dozen bags of jealous devil in yesterday.
I currently have 16 bags full and 3 open bags to keep me going for a bit.
I want enough to go through all winter but I don’t have the room for another dozen.....and they are damn expensive.
Up here I pay $40 for 1 bag plus 15% tax on it.
I find it hard not to use though, going to the $20 bags I always find something I don’t like about it.
Tons of small pieces, snapping and popping ect....JD tastes excellent, burns at 250 in my kettle if I want for a long time and it gets insane hot, hotter than I should cook at. My unusable from the JD bag is very small, I like that a lot.
Generally for my smokes I have been using Weber bricks....while they do a good job, the amount of ash is insane.
An almost full E6 will fill an empty ash catcher to overflowing when I go to clean it up, it’s messy is about the only downfall on that for me.
I have 4 more bags of that to go which may be 6 to 8 more big smokes then off to try something else.
My local bbq joint has JD bricks, but I don’t know a lot about them.
.?? Anyone use them before?
