Thanks for the heads up. It sounds like an ideal time to stock up.

Sweet! Thanks bro.

Thanks for the heads up! Heading to Home Depot a little later. Just put a brisket and a pork butt on the smoker. Perfect timing!

Royal Oak Briquettes are on sale this weekend at OSH. IIRC they are $5.97 each for a 16 lb bag and if you buy two bags you get free lighter fluid.

You can do what you want with the fluid. The prices are still the same for the coal. I don't know if these are good prices or not but I figured I'd say something since you guys were mentioning the brand. I just got started grilling again after years of not doing it. My first few bags were quick light and then I bought a chimney. I like the chimney.

Maybe you'll teach me how to do some smokin' Adam.

16lbs for $5.97 is about $0.37/lb. I don't know if RO briqs are any good or not, or what wood it is made from and were the wood comes from, as I've never used them, but the price per lb is equal to what KF blue goes for at Sam's club (they sell 2x20lbs for $14.99).

The Home Depot sale price of $9.97 for 2x20lbs is $0.25/lb, which is as cheap as KF blue ever gets; actually, it's below cost.

Typically KF blue goes for about $0.40/lb give or take a few cents.

One thing about KF - it might not be the hottest or longest burning, but it's probably the most reliable and predictable briquette out there. Year after year, bag after bag, always the same (unless they tweak the formula, which I've seen them do twice in the last 15-20 years). Unlike some of the other brands where they change from year to year, or even lot to lot, due to spot market buys of wood for their briquettes, and sometimes even changing factories. One of the keys to good Q is consistency, and when your fuel is all over the map for how it burns, it's very hard to be consistent.

Teach you how to smoke food, sure. Just so you know though, in 15-20 minutes I can tell you what you need to know to get started, after that, it's just a lot of practice and the experimentation that will naturally come with it.

I love the taste of Naptha in the morning

The last thing we used lighter fluid for was to start up bonfires on a damp fall evening.

Glgist · 09-03-2010, 10:16 AM

I just buy the large bags of bedding material they make for hamster beds. I usually pick up a bag or two at the pet store when I get my kitty litter beads. Much cheaper! LOL

OLS · 09-03-2010, 05:44 PM

The chimney is the greates piece of equipment you can get for grillin. I can't believe I don't
have one, lol. I used to make a foil one every weekend, and it works for a bit, then burns through.
But it DID get the thing going in the same manner. Now I just build a stick fire out of the yard trash
then pile on the coal.

Yup, I had NEVER smoked a single piece of meat, and then one day I went to the BBQ festival
down at memphis in May. I caught the jones something fierce, and I practiced about twice a month,
sometime FOUR weekends a month. Just slab after slab of ribs, dollar after dollar "wasted"
in meat I tasted then basically gave the rest away. that's not entirely true, but when you cook
four weekends in a month, you really shouldn't be eating 3 racks of ribs a week.
I think now I have got my style down to the point where it could be sold for serious money.
But one thing for sure, I don't practice every weekend anymore, lol. but it's FUN!

Col. Kurtz · 05-25-2012, 08:57 PM

Bump. Stocked up again at Lowes. They have the twin pack 20 lbs bag for $9.99. No limit at the stores nearby.

T.G · 05-25-2012, 09:55 PM

Home Depot also has a 2x13.9lb pack for $5.88 this weekend.

LostAbbott · 05-26-2012, 09:48 AM

If you have cash and carry (Oregon, washington, Idaho) they always have mesquite lump hard wood 40lb bags for $14. I exclusively use this for grilling. Any smoking I go with the kingsford.
