They still make this stuff right??

my Walmart stopped carrying, now has B&B. And my local supermarket that I used to buy from stopped and now sells Cowboy. I know the owner and he's going to see why they swapped. 

I was without my egg for about 6 months up until last month. Was going to buy a few bags but know can't find any.

@Gravytrain84

My local Home Depot stocks it too. Hopefully yours does too.

If your Kroger is the same as mine it's RO.

B and B sucks. I tried it once, dumped most of the bag into the firepit. It
was cowboy bad.

That's kinda what I thought.

they really pretty up the Kroger pack. Simple truth all natural and stuff. Even charge a few more dollars. Just looked again. No info or anything directly linking to RO but likely is.

I usually get mine from Home Depot or more recently Walmart since I've been able to find it for $9.49 17lb bag.

The Kroger briqs and lump were made by some other company. The briqs were better than Kingsford, but not as good as Stubbs. This was the Kroger brand stuff . Didn't have the Simple Truth brand or logo on it. Was a few years ago. It went on sale so I had stocked up to burn it in my kettle grills and UDS's.

MrCookingNurse

@caliking
ever but briqs in your egg? I almost got a bag of kingsfird Sunday morning because I had chickens thawed and couldn't find lump

Gravytrain84

It seems my local Home Depot has RO. Thanks for heads up

I've used briquettes plenty of times.  They work fine.  Many BBQ competitions are cooked using them.

MrCookingNurse

@nolaegghead
even for lo and slo? It'll last? I just have no experience with it. 

nolaegghead

Yep.  Light a small spot on top, wait for good smoke...exactly the same.

MrCookingNurse

Coool good to know 

caliking

Never tried it. I was cooking more with lump by the time I got my eggs, and plus I figured they produced more ash so why bother.

I have a long history of hoarding charcoal, so I can't remember a time when  I didn't have enough on hand

I've cooked 8-10hrs in the small with briquettes. No problem

the current cowboy lump is fine, just as long as it is not older stock. it does need a slower start up, it pops if your using a torch.

I use B&B all the time.  sure, it sparks a little when lighting it.  but, works good for me.

KiterTodd

My HD still has a big stock of the smaller 15 lbs. bags for $12 and change.

Gravytrain84

I gave B&B a shot. You better wear glasses and long sleeves or you'll get burnt like a mofo! It also took way longer to get going than RO imo. 

Ill be gojng to Home Depot from now on for da good stuff.

Bought this past weekend.  Lowes had no RO.  Checked online at Home Depot, they had 50+ bags in stock.  Got two bags.  Also had cherry wood chunks, which I bought.
