Has any one ever used Kingsford competition briquets in the egg? Label says it's 100% natural and great for ceramic cookers.
If so does it light easy, last long or create a lot of a

I use them in my Portable Kitchen (PK) grill.
I like them in that grill. They do leave a fair amount of ash.

If you decided to try the competition briquettes Costco seems to have the best deal.
I picked up 2 -18# bags for around $18 last weekend. -
I've used them in other grills. They generate good heat and work pretty well. But like any briquette they are 30-40% binder so they generate a lot more ash than lump.

I'm using them to do steaks and burgers on the PK.
I like them because they burn uniformally. -

They are very smokey until fully burning.
When fully ignited they burn virtually smokeless. -

I load up at Costco every year in the Spring when they have them on sale. yes I use them in my BGE and its all I use in my WSM. They create a little more ash than lump but a lot less ash than blue bag. Everyone seems to make a big deal about ash. I just quickly clean out the BGE before each use through the bottom vent and never have any type of problem using them. I do however have a after market grate for my BGE that someone recommended on here (can't remember the brand name) that has a more traditional grate style than the BGE one that has the holes in it so that may be part of it.

My buddy uses them in his egg and I used them in a bind one day we were cooking together. They hold a great stable temp and like @gregW said lots of smoke till fully lit.Franklin, Tn

You can shutdown the grill and reuse. I filled mine to the top and actually got three or four other cooks out of them.Franklin, Tn

@jabam. I use a partial charcoal chimney and spread them evenly over the unlit and start cooking. Ive always done this in my WSM as well. I don't get the funny smell from them that I get from lump in the beginning. They smell like clean burning wood right from the start.Dearborn MI

I do this because I want a very consistent fire across the entire cooking surface. -
I use the minion method for low and slows (so no for that) if using as a charcoal grill I start as soon as I think there is enough heat and don't worry about unlit either way.Dearborn MI
