Charcoal is like diesel for me, I tend to just roll in and buy it regardless. I need it and that’s about all there is to it haha

I used Blues Hog briquettes for the first time yesterday.
I like the fact that there wasn’t more than a minute of white smoke. They burn hot so you need to almost close your vents completely
I took the butt off at 4:00 after 12 hours and closed the vents completely. I went to remove the water pan to empty it and the cooking grate was hot to the touch and the water pan was hot. I removed the water pan and saw red coals in the charcoal chamber. I checked and all of the vents were closed 100%. This is the first time that’s happened in 11 years of using that smoker.

.97 is a price liquidation. i'll head to my local costco and buy a few bags. it cooks well, is nice and hot and has a good oak flavor. thanks for this share.
UPDATE: scored some cowboy at the $9.97 price. Local Costco has maybe 20 packs left (Folsom CA) But no TP in stock. Maybe time to move to liquid diet
Thank you @Doug Selman

I agree. FOGO Premium is pretty good, too.
I hope that means we can start seeing B&B briquettes in more stores, tired of Ace being out of stock for months at a time.

I think they’re a lot like B&B - they burn hot and long.

Similar here.
Jealous Devil lump and Weber bricks exclusively.
I cannot find a better lump, I can however find better priced lump.
Do you have a Tractor Supply Co near by? They have JD for $1/lb there.I really want to try Jealous Devil but I'm having a hard time paying the Amazon price because I can't find any locally.
