The possibilities are endless. What utensil cleans your grill grates best? Which fire starter last longest? What temperature probe is most accurate/gets to a stable temperature fastest once inserted into meat? Thank you for being original and creating content for the average backyard bbq.
It’s who I am at my core! Even though our content has evolved and changed a bit I don’t want to lose that feel! It’s always going to be us in the backyard hanging out with the kids and cooking food!
Unfortunately over here in Ireland we don't have the same level of choice as you guys, but after using cheap supermarket coals I now only buy genuine Weber lump and briquettes. The slight difference in price is negated by the heat given and the length of cook I can now achieve. And I have noticed that there is a lot less ash left after my cooks. Thanks for the interesting video man. 🇮🇪 🇺🇸
Hell yeah! That’s what I love to hear. That’s basically what I was getting at. To me, no matter which way you look at it, it pays to get the good stuff!
I bought 2 bags of Royal Oak Super Sized and had a huge cloud of white nasty smoke for a long time. I was very mad because I have used Royal Oak Lump coal and love it. B&B briquettes are the way to go.
The B&B wasn’t that much more in price and overall much better in every aspect. The store brand didn’t give the food a bad taste, but the difference in burn time, temp, and cleanliness was very obvious!
Really great video, I did this a couple days ago between B&B and Kingsford. B&B did stay lit longer and less start up smoke. Whenever I light the Kingsford I make sure to close all the doors etc and not let anyone close to it. However I use both still... B&B for longer smokes mainly and Kingsford for everyday things even smoking. Also B&B here in California is $16 for one bag of 17.6lbs vs $22 for 40lbs of a Kingsford 2 Pack. What always gets me is B&B being bigger in size and I always think I need more 🤣
One of the better comparison of charcoal. I noticed your B&B ballcap right off. But I can honestly say you were fair and your tests showed the strengths and weaknesses without bias. I've been wanting to buy a bag of B&B, but I have to use up my Kingaford first. I don't believe I will go back to Kingsford after I start using B&B. Thanks For The Demonstration.
To me the Kingsford original has that same thick smoke and not a pleasant smell. But in the end it turns out okay, ace hardware near me has just about any B&B you can think of, so I will probably be shopping there more often.
There are a lot of brands that have that unpleasant smell unfortunately! That’s why even though I am affiliated with B&B I always thought it was the best and that’s no lie.
I used Kingsford for years before trying B&B briquettes a couple of years ago. Definitely a superior briquette. If you are doing low and slow the superior performance of B&B is even more revealing. It’s like a lump briquette hybrid.
Instead of store bought, do a comparison between B&B and Jealous Devil briquettes. I love them both, but just curious about your thoughts!! Great video, looking forward to more content.
To be fair your placing a high-end product vs. One of HEBs generics of charcoal, try matching B&B with HEB "Grand Champion" charcoal for a store bought brand. I see that last a lot longer then HEB Briquets , and quality is better. Awesome vids tho.
I see what you’re saying. But, the point is for ~$2.00 more you’re getting almost 2lbs more charcoal that burns cleaner, hotter, and longer! Also, if you catch the end of the video I do say that to me, it pays to use name brand charcoal. That also includes other big brands! I was sincerely shocked in the differences when looking at them side by side. My major focus of the video was that it does matter what charcoal you cook with!
@GulfCoastSmoke correct in all..... I do prefer B&B for a longer smoke, for a quick trip and cook I'll save the $2 for beer... lol Thanks for the feedback.
That’s why I showed footage and stated facts! We are indeed sponsored by B&B but I would have posted it either way because what do you get out of lying?
I've never tried different types of charcoal. I only use Kingsford for cooking with the Weber Kettle or Weber Smokey Mountain. From watching this video now you've got me curious, might be time to start testing. I get a two pack of 18 pound bags at Walmart for a little over 19 dollars.
I think it’s worth trying! To me, I’m not a scientist but that start up smoke we got on this Store Brand charcoal can’t be a good thing. The smell is so foul!
Great video. Loved the comparison. I buy store brand in a pinch, but I’ve been all about B&B briquettes since I tried them a year or two back. Nice, clean even burn. I also use their wood chunks, and mesquite lump charcoal for hot and fast stuff like chicken, pork chops and steaks. $8.99 a bag at Academy here in North Texas, or $1.50 more than store brand at any big box store. $6.99 for mesquite lump, and $7.99 for a big bag of wood chunks. Truly can’t beat the value.
Yeah, like I said in the video I am obviously affiliated with B&B, BUT I’ve been using them before I ever started making RUclips videos and it truly is my favorite charcoal to work with! Best bang for your buck!
@@GulfCoastSmoke hopefully I’m there one day too, man. And your videos definitely influenced my trying of their products. But it truly is the best I’ve used. And I’ve tried it all.
Great video as always, thanks man! Sooooo, was the store brand Kingsford? I always want to branch out but the cost always makes me go the Kingsford route.
I don’t disagree! But, I can honestly say the difference was much larger than even I expected. Also, the biggest point was just that it’s worth the extra few bucks for name brand!
Great comparison but I noticed the b&b charcoal was stacked against the store bought spread around. I know the b&b definitely burns hotter and last longer by the size.
Thanks for this, quality of the charcoal makes a lot of sense of importance and the burgers look great 👍 . I'm glad to learn how to grill and properly, when I do get a grill. Have you ever made and tried the brisket macaroni and cheese? I've never tried that. Only made very good baked macaroni and cheese from scratch and had brisket had restaurants. Yet, I didn't know brisket macaroni and cheese was a thing. I had checked out a few video videos the other day and it'll be cool if your channel also make a video on that dish someday? Happy New Year's ✨
I legit ate pulled pork macaroni yesterday and it gave me soooo many ideas! Don’t be surprised if you see some recipes soon! I’m super glad you enjoyed the video!
I want tot ry out B&B charcoal, but I can't find it anywhere near me. Is online the best place? Just found your channel and hit that sub button instantly! Nice job man 🤙
I've always found charcoal brickets to make food taste like lighter fluid. Never used b@b. HOWEVER, ck out othe u tube Chanels, that are making there own home made charcoal lumps. That would be great for you to do. Keep up the good content.
To be fair…are you sponsored by B&B? Also, the store brand was flat on the grate after pouring. The B&B was more mounded towards the middle, so that would naturally make the B&B hotter. Just playing devils advocate. I do like that B&B smokes a lot less.
I am sponsored by B&B, yes! But if you catch the end of the video I do mention that and I also mention that the point of the video was that it matters what type of charcoal you use and it will pay off to use a name brand over a store brand! That includes any other big brands. I’d use those first! But my loyalty obviously does remain with B&B!
Store Brand is what I was comparing, not Store Bought! Store Brand is something that the store makes. So if you ever go to Circle K and pick up charcoal and it’s got Circle K on the bag, that’s what I mean!
B&B on my hat or not, the video shows everything completely unbiased and with facts you can see! It’s not just about B&B, and I do recommend getting a good brand of charcoal when you’re cooking! Cheers!!
@@GulfCoastSmoke We know you are a B&B fan. What other premium brands do you recommend. You tested B&B charcoal against Kroger charcoal. You tested a Mercedes against a Kia. Yes B&B charcoal is better than Kroger charcoal. Didn’t need a video to show this. I subscribed. Cheers!!
![Yeat & Quavo - 5BRAZY [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4XxnTAwyxus/mqdefault.jpg)
If I wore a b&b hat on a video I wouldn’t say anything else was better than them either 😂
What do y'all want to see us compare next?!
Shout out @admiralg.5845 for the idea on charcoal comparisons!

I love the way you put that! The overall outcome wasn't bad, but everything else unfortunately did not live up to the standards of the B&B Charcoal!
Yes definitely a cleaner smoke I like the larger size because I do a lot of long smokes
Really great video, I did this a couple days ago between B&B and Kingsford. B&B did stay lit longer and less start up smoke.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah, that B&B can burn hot and long, brother! You don’t need too much to get yourself a good cook going.
Unfortunately B&B briquettes are like $15 in SoCal at Ace. They're my favorite though.
How long will it last you? If you think about it in terms of how many cooks you can get with it, it may still be worth it!
@@GulfCoastSmoke They last noticeably more than Kingsford and Royal Oak. Plus I use the Ace $5 off coupons they send me every so often.
@@YesItsMarioit's 17$ here in midwest for the 17lb bag. I started using the app as well to save some $

B&B is next on my list to try, I did notice a big difference when I tried Fogo briquettes vs Royal oak classic briquettes!
I used Kingsford for years before trying B&B briquettes a couple of years ago. Definitely a superior briquette. If you are doing low and slow the superior performance of B&B is even more revealing. It’s like a lump briquette hybrid.
Yo! This is actually crazy the difference. Loved the video 🔥
It is even crazy for me to see, since I’ve never done a side by side comparison! Glad you enjoyed it!
If you can find stubs charcoal try that one I love it and it's got a good flavor
Instead of store bought, do a comparison between B&B and Jealous Devil briquettes. I love them both, but just curious about your thoughts!! Great video, looking forward to more content.
That would be a great video!! I’ll have to add it to my list for sure!
Love jd briquettes. My fav so far

@GulfCoastSmoke correct in all..... I do prefer B&B for a longer smoke, for a quick trip and cook I'll save the $2 for beer... lol Thanks for the feedback.
B&B is heavier and denser. If you’re smoking, especially using a small firebox like in a Masterbuilt portable, B&B can’t be beat.
If surprise he chose B&B. He was only wearing their hat the whole time. lol. By as much?
That’s why I showed footage and stated facts! We are indeed sponsored by B&B but I would have posted it either way because what do you get out of lying?
B&B always wins... It's simply the best.

B+B all day and twice on Sunday
My absolute favorite!
The sombrero gave it away holmes 😂👍🍺🍺
Lol! Fair enough!
One time I tried the cheapest charcoal here and all the food tasted like ashes! Don't go cheap on your food/health. Great job brother!
I 100% agree with that! I appreciate you my man!
Just picked up some B&B charcoal, and couldn't believe the difference! I've never gotten such a great smoke ring on my ribs! Kingsford could never
It's just such good fuel! I really love it and have found that I can be super consistent with my cooks.
I need to get my hands on some B & B ! Royal oak and Kingsford is what we have in abundance in my kneck of the woods .
It’s worth trying! I’ve been using it for so long that I know exactly what I’m getting out of each bag!

I just bought some B and B and was very impressed. I actually reuse my coals on future cooks . Great review!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great video as always, thanks man! Sooooo, was the store brand Kingsford? I always want to branch out but the cost always makes me go the Kingsford route.
Thanks so much! I definitely recommend trying B&B and seeing how you like it!
Great video and very informative! You sold me... :) Would love to see the same comparison with Kingsford.
Thanks! I’ve actually done it before, just not on video. I will try it again in video
I've used primarily Kingsford and BB and when on a budget, kirkland. Honestly, very little difference.
The guy doing test wearing nothing but b and b swag😂😂😂😂😂😂 shocked he picked BandB
Nice comparison video! Store brand too easy an opponent for B&B. Would have preferred Kingsford or Blues Hog briquettes.
I don’t disagree! But, I can honestly say the difference was much larger than even I expected. Also, the biggest point was just that it’s worth the extra few bucks for name brand!
Curious as to what you used to form the burger patties. Love the consistency
I actually got them pre-made at a grocery store! I couldn’t find ground beef to save my life! So crazy.
Great comparison but I noticed the b&b charcoal was stacked against the store bought spread around. I know the b&b definitely burns hotter and last longer by the size.
The size itself makes it stack higher! I just poured them in and spread them out as evenly as I could.
Yeah I rewatched it and noticed that. Great content! Keep putting out bangers! B&B is what I use also.
Thank you! Will do my best to keep at it!
B&B brotha 🤙 You get what you pay for!
All day every day!!

I think Academy online is a good bet! I even saw it was on sale for like $9 the other day at all locations!
@@GulfCoastSmoke Definitely have to check it out!
I wish b&b was that cheap near me its 20 for that same size bag by me in WNY
Oh, man! Is that kind of the standard price for charcoal in your area?
17.6 lb of B&B at my local store is 15.99
Where do you live? And, what do other name brands cost in relation to B&B?
@@GulfCoastSmoke From Michigan, B&B Lump is 19.99 for 20 lb,,Kingsford 2-Pack 20-lb Charcoal Briquettes 21.98, Blues Hog Lump 20lb is 26.99
Cant find b&b around here, i need to order some.
Order you some and let me know what you think!!
@@GulfCoastSmoke yes, sir
store brand charcoal is made by Royal Oak

Loved the local BBQ cook off, wish I was closer to you (I'm in elpaso). Try your under 10 buck challenge with baloney or chorizo.

I dunno my B&B burns down in 4 hrs.
I hate kingsford. The smell and taste is horrible
I have not used it in so long! I would be curious to see how it burns!
