maintian the temp on. So I've read all the negartive posts
Kingsford and am wondering what every who doesn't use kingsford uses?

bags are < $12...

thanks

Not necessarily.

Well, Kingsford uses a lot of firs -- doug fir, cedar, etc. -- in their
production process. And let's not forget the anthracite coal, and the
binders, etc. Having said that, Kingsford is just as good as any. I've
tasted and used 'em all, and there really is little if any difference to the
end product, IMO. Well, the easy-light stuff -- like Matchlight -- can have
a funkier taste.

Since you value ease of use above the quality of your food (and I really am
not putting your core value down --- folks have to choose what pleases
them.), get the easiest product to find, which is Kingsford.

I've had good luck with Royal Oak briquettes, and Walmart is likely to have
40 lbs (two 20# bags shrink wrapped) for $7.50. I saw this for $5 one day a
few weeks ago.

I've used Big Briq too, and it was fine.

Kingsford.....

Ahhh, I love the smell of smoldering coal and borax.
