Bag says it’s made for Weber:

Weber briquettes are featured in the 2020 Weber product catalog, so I think they will be with us at least through this year.I've read a few threads where some think Weber is gonna discontinue offering them.
I don't know who make them, but they're not made by Weber.Yea, I seen that, but that's "made for" not "made by", and by whom?

I fear not past this year. Go to Weber.com ->Accessories->Cooking->Charcoal Briquettes and Accessories. When you land on that page, the Charcoal Briquettes are no where to be found. Earlier this year, the briquettes did appear on the Charcoal Briquettes and Accessories page. Searching for the part no. 17950 does not yield anything other than a link to part no. 17150, Mesquite Wood Chunks. I contacted Weber through their website several weeks asking about Charcoal Briquetts, but I did not receive a reply.Weber briquettes are featured in the 2020 Weber product catalog, so I think they will be with us at least through this year.
Yes, the briquettes aren't shown there. The landing page is still found via a Google search for "weber charcoal briquettes":Go to Weber.com ->Accessories->Cooking->Charcoal Briquettes and Accessories. When you land on that page, the Charcoal Briquettes are no where to be found.
Just checked this link out, it is in stock for me on the east coast, there is just no ship to store options in PA due the the closures, I could order 10 bags to be delivered in VA at a store 70 mins away. I will keep watching this to see if it can be shipped to my local store here on Friday.True Value marked it down to $6.99/bag online sale, but they are sold out.

Weird time of year to have that much of a sale. Farm and Fleet had the same sale last month. Jim Lampe bought a truckload. This does not look good for the continued existence of Weber Briquettes.
I can't get ship to store, but there are stores in my area that show it in stock. However, none of the stores with it in stock have it at the $6.99 price according to the website. But the website also indicates it is online only. This sound to me that they want to clear it out of their warehouses.Just checked this link out, it is in stock for me on the east coast, there is just no ship to store options in PA due the the closures, I could order 10 bags to be delivered in VA at a store 70 mins away.

My local BBQ shop has Royal Oak Chef's Select 40 lb bag for $23, that seems like worth a try.One theory is that it is Royal Oak Chef's Select without the ridges. The ridges are relatively new. The old Chef's Select didn't have them. It's a great charcoal. I don't think the price is that out of line except when compared with KBB and Royal Oak. I still have a few bags from the sale from last year.
