Weber 20 Pound(S) Charcoal Briquettes

[BruceS]

Has anyone tried Weber 20 Ibs Bag Charcoal Briquettes yet? They state on the bag that they are all natural hardwood. I see that Lowe's is selling a bag for $19.99.

Presently available at my local Lowes? No.

Not the same as the new Weber briqs we're getting over here Bob.

The resealable bag is an interesting concept. Makes me wonder if it is more of a plastic type bag rather than the paper bags of every other charcoal manufacturer.

According to the description from True Value the bag is plastic.
They look like Stubbs, maybe re-branded?

These briquettes are made from all-natural ingredients (90% hardwood and 10% natural starch). Each piece is identical in size and is a large, pillow design; which makes for easier lighting. Works great for all grilling purposes as they burn longer and maintain a consistent temperature. The bag is 100% recyclable and made from a polyethylene plastic material that provides a water/moisture barrier. Don't worry about not using the whole bag at once as the integrated plastic zip allows for easy resealing. Bag and briquettes are manufactured in the US.

• 20 pound reseable bag
• Made in US
• All-natural ingredients
• Easy to light
• Burns long and consistent heat

Geez, I just got used to Stubbs for my upgraded charcoal for special cooks. KBB is still my normal charcoal for my cooks. Now this at a buck a pound it would have to be amazingly good for me to buy it.
I'll wait to see what others say about it.
