Excellent comparison. I switched to B&B a few years ago and have been very happy. Used to be a Kingsford customer. This comparison confirmed my switch. Thanks.
Still learning a lot about charcoal grilling. Really enjoyed this comparison video as you mentioned I saw things in this comparison must others didn't do.
I'm kind of late to the game, but I'm trying to up my skills from just grilling burgers and dogs. Always used Kingsford for grilling & slow and low (because it's easy available) now that I'm getting into smoking it's time for a bag of B&B. Great comparison of each aspect of different charcoal brands, answered a lot of questions I had. Thanks for posting!
I was not at all surprised by your results. My brother grabbed a bag of B&B while we were vacationing. I use up bags of Kingsford blue bag every month, mostly due to the cheap price at local big box. That B&B floored me. The temps were crazy consistent and the duration was much more than I had been accustomed to. The premium price is easy to justify for the increase in performance.
Hello Rob. Yes, B&B is really a quality product. I do buy B&B when everything is regular priced... but when kingsfords goes on sale at the big box store it is SO hard to not load up with half a pallet in the truck! Take care and thanks for coming by.
This was a great comparison video. I used up all of my Weber briquettes so now I’m looking for a replacement. I’m tired of using Kingsford. Mostly because of the lower temps and the amount of ash afterwards. It would have been interesting to see the amount of ash under each chimney afterwards. Good video, I enjoyed it. Thanks.
Hello Nick. I didn't even think of showing the amount of ash left over.... but I can tell you that B&B has less ash afterwards than Kingsford. Take care Nick.
I'd like to try B & B- looks promising. The challenge for me is that where I live in Dallas, you can get Kingsford in almost any store including hardware stores- so easy to purchase. Kingsford is half the money of B & B. Thanks Johnny!
Thank you for taking the time to put on this demonstration. I too learned a lot. I've been a Kingsford guy my entire life but now I want to give the B & B a try. I've been watching other channels where they use B & B so why not give it a shot. Nothing ventured nothing gained...
I’ve used all of these (except Embers) over the years. Cost is a consideration. If I’m grilling something quick, like steaks or burgers, I’ll go with Kingsford or Royal Oak. If I’m cooking low and slow, I’ll use B&B because those larger briquettes last longer and maintain heat better. I also think they have slightly better flavor. Good comparison. Thanks!!
Thanks for the comparison! I have used Kingsford my whole life but recently bought a bunch of RO bags from Lowe’s end of year sale. Will be on the lookout for B&B for my low n slow cooks! Thx again!
B&B burns longer than the others but it is a bit pricey... it does burn a lot cleaner too... so for some the price is worth it especially when it goes on sale.
I just bought my first bag of B&B today. I had never even heard of it until this video. I finally found it at ACE Hardware yesterday! I can’t wait to see how long it lasts on stuff like brisket and Turkey!
Nice video, I liked the comparison. Been using B&B for a while now and I think it's great, burns hot, clean, and lasts a long time, and didn't leave much ash behind. I used to use both Royal Oak and Kingsford a good bit. Royal Oak always burned dirty and would give me some off flavors. I also had way more ash at the end compared to other brands. Kingsford I think is ok, pretty consistent and burns a long time, but doesn't get as hot as other brands. B&B is definitely my favorite.
B&B is also my favorite but I find myself using Kingsford most of the time because of price and availability. Thanks for coming by and spending a little time watching my video. Take care.
This video should do you well. loved your testing of the different Charcoals. as far as myself. I stocked up on Webers last year when HD started dumping it for 4.99 a bag. when thats done i'll see what's on sale. good stuff.
Tommy, I hope so, trying to do more things than just recipes. I planed 4 videos that did not involve a recipe... They are doing ok, the craycort/weber grill grate comparison did not do well in its first 48 hours.. .but is now starting to get steady views and more impressions... so, I am hoping for the best and hopefully I can get some viewers who look for other things rather than recipes... and then stick around and watch a recipe or two! Take care Tommy.
I’ve always used Kingsford my whole life. It hasn’t done me wrong. But the B&B is interesting, maybe if it isn’t ridiculously expensive I might check it out. It definitely has its advantages for long cooks/smokes for sure.
I’m glad I got 8 acres full of mesquite trees I got free wood all year long…occasionally I will buy some when they go on sale thanks for your video will try out b&b on the next one.
Johnny I was completely blown away by the b&b briquettes. They were waaayyyyy hotter and last longer than the kingsford blue I was using. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us!
@@Viewtoagrill Yes sir! I’m thinking about tackling a brisket once we move back to the farm. My little girl will be here in February, so I’ll be off work for a while. That will allow me to get the brisket process down packed.
I'm doing BnB for the next cook. Been using Walmart's Expert grill and it has been good for getting my wood burner going but not for straight charcoal grilling.
Thanks for your comparison. I wished I would have seen it before I bought 160 lbs of Embers last weekend bc it was 6 bucks cheaper for each twin pack of 20 lbs than Kingfords twin pack of the same size. Being that I still have about 120 lbs of Kingsford sitting in my basement I went wild and bought the Embers. Well this weekend I tried Embers charcoal for the firs time, and true to the cliche, you get what you pay for. I read some reviewers that stated it was a little harder to start than Kingsford, so being that in my Weber chimney started usually gets the Kingsford coals ready in about ten to 12 minutes with just 2 sheets of newspaper, I doubled the amount I normally use to 4 sheets of newspaper. It still took the Ember's coals over a half hour to get started enough to dump into my grill. I was cooking some chicken indirectly with some apple wood chips on top, and it was really hard to keep the Embers temp high enough to smoke the chicken correct'y because a lot of the coals didn't even stay lit. Never had this trouble with Kinsford, so I learned the hard way. I'll stick with Kingsford from now on. Can't say I ever noticed B&B charcoal around here. Next weekend I'll try to mix the 2 charcoals and try to figure out a ratio that will keep the Embers from giving up.
The Embers in this video was the last bag of Embers I bought... even when I see it on sale I do not buy it. If you are like me you won't waste the Embers and muscle through it. LOL.. Take care. Great channel Name by the way.
Royal Oak for the win only because of cost. I would love to burn B&B all the time, but not cost effective for me. I can get a 15lb bag of Royal Oak for $5 tax free all year round.
I decided to switch back to charcoal and picked up a Weber kettle. The kingsford was on sale but the ace hardware a few miles away has a good stock of B&B. I decided to hold off and do some research. Thanks for making this video.
Hey Dap! B&B is good stuff for sure... and congrats on the new weber kettle, you will find a lot of stuff on this channel I use on my kettle I hope you enjoy and welcome to the channel. Take care.
Excellent test! I'm staying with kingsford. Because its always available, I'm used to it and price. B&B is the better product but it's not easy to find around me, the price is slightly higher too. Thanks for your test!
The scientist/engineer in me suggests two things - - Before/After WEIGHT of the charcoal would be much more accurate than the "Burned Ends Lufkin" method. Then we'd have to determine what, if any, effect that weight change had on performance. It's not good practice to simply say "This one's better because it created less ash [or lost less volume]". - Be cautious in declaring a "winner". If BnB stays hot longer, that wouldn't be an advantage when cooking burgers or other quick cook items. Likewise caution declaring any particular charcoal as better because it reached a hotter temp. Unless you're cooking pizza, hotter charcoal is probably not "better". I suggest familiarity and expectable results are likely the most important aspect of any cooking process. Example - Whatever charcoal I use, I know that X amount of charcoal, started Y minutes prior to cook, with the vents open Z amount will give me 350 deg F for at least 120 minutes. If I continue to use that same charcoal, amount, and starting time, I can experiment with time and vent openings to get hotter, cooler, longer, shorter cook scenarios. I'm pretty sure I would not be able to tell any difference in taste of chix, burgers, etc if cooked over BnB, Kingsford, Matchlight, Lump vs Briquette etc. So all that being said, I simply buy reliable, low cost Kingsford in the blue bag. I've cooked on it for half a century and know what to expect. If I had cooked over some other brand, I'm quite sure I would feel just as confident about it's cooking characteristics.
This was really interesting to watch! I just bought embers for my BBQ and I really hated the taste they gave to the steaks!! Thanks for this cool video
Great test! I have always used Weber hardwood briquettes and loved them for my long cooks but I cannot get anymore. So I searched and saw your video and going to get B&B, thanks for the great information.. I’ll update with my results!
Hey I appreciate that I really do. This is the first video where I decided to make my channel an all around BBQ channel and not just cooking cooking. Take care and welcome to the channel.
I'd say B&B lasted longer, because of the bigger briquette. I think Weber is likely about the same from my limited experience with it. I go for what's on sale most of the time. I haven't tried B&B though. I'd like to give that a shot. Great test Johnny!
This is awesome, I will for sure try B&B next time. I will say this when it comes to lump charcoal, I was very disappointed with my last bag from Royal Oak. It was filled with a few really large chunks and a bunch of tiny pieces. I won't be buying that again.
Hello Jav! If I didn't have to drive 30 minutes to get a bag I would buy it exclusively. ... but it is too easy to go around the corner and get Kingsford.
View to a grill I buy it around the corner from my house at the Tom Thumb grocery store, I was surprised to see it there so I started buying it since I heard how good it was. $5 for a 8 lb. bag. Now they’ve doubled their stock since I buy so much 😂
😋 I would have expected them to be closer in burn time! But I may just go ahead and stick with Kingsford! I do believe the food I get has a decent flavor when I use them! But I'ma also try the cheaper ones knowing that when I want a quick fire and a shorter burn time they can deliver!.
Yeah I think you'll find terms of actual cooking that B&B briquettes are pretty good as well. I don't think the flavor is any different, but the burn time is a little longer in the B&B and you don't have to wait so long to get clean smoke. You get it immediately.
Hello Kelton! B&B briquettes are awesome.. .but for me it is so mucheaiser to pick up Kingsford.. if I was closer to a store that sold B$B I would use B&B exclusively.
@@Viewtoagrill Agreed, wonderful video. I bought the cheapest charcoal Walmart sells ("Expert Grill Charcoal") and it is HORRIBLE. Tomorrow I'm buying a bag of B&B. They should pay you a commission! lol
Bro I got a of B&B cuz I couldn’t find the royal oak lump and immediately I saw the difference between the two I was sold… any grill man will disqualify be able to tell the quality… good video good content 👍
Academy really has decent prices on B&B. I love that stuff. Started a basket at 10 this morning for a chuck roast (poor man brisket) It’s 4 now, still burning well. Only bad part is having to learn how to get controllable smoke temps
Thanks Batman!! I have to say I love B&B and I get it when I can but Lowe’s and Home Depot are literally around the corner and I usually buy Kingsford. .... Hey B&B... start selling at Home Depot!
I like Kingsford because that's what my Daddy used, takes me back, I've tried Embers and Royal Oak and I don't like their smoke flavor, haven't tried B&B but I will, for now, I'm gonna say it's between Kingsford and B&B as well
I’m in the middle of running and experiment on three charcoals. I may post something pretty generic on my channel. I weighed The most “normal” sized Kingsford, B&B, and the new Jealous Devil Maxxx. Then, I placed them in water and submerged them and weighed the water they displaced. I used this to calculate their density. Kingsford was the most dense, then B&B and then JD Maxxx. My next test, which I will record, is to light each single briquette given the same amount of time and distance from a torch and see how long they burn until they are dust. I have to wait for the briquettes I tested to dry out because dunking them in water soaked them a bit. I didn’t expect Kingsford to be the most dense but as we see in your test B&B obviously burns longer even though less dense. The JD Maxxx is quebracho wood and I would guess it would burn the longest but we’ll see. The test will have to be taken with a grain of salt because the Kingsford is the smallest briquette and it would make sense that it burns less time. I will then calculate a ratio of time burned to size and see which one per unit of volume will be the best given the size it takes up. It’s all a bit ridiculous doing this, but I like doing these types of experiments.
Wow, that would be quit extensive. It should be a fun little test to do. Let me know whey you have it up so I can take a look, it sounds interesting. Take care.
After months of using Royal Oak briquets and B&B briquets, the Royal Oak emits an extreme amount of smoke. I literally have to wave people off who happen to be walking or driving by and tell them my house is not on fire. B&B produces very little smoke and don't have to worry about people getting alarmed. I find the B&B can be difficult to light up, even using those flame starters. Now I put a handful of Royal Oak briquets on the bottom of the chimney starter since RO lights up easier and fill the rest with B&B, that seems to work in getting the B&B to light up. Thoughts?
Great comparison. I like RO briquettes a lot. However, RO is the primary manufacturer of the majority of private label store brand charcoal briquettes. I have noticed that store brand RO briquettes are not as good as the name brand RO briquettes. Whether it be Home Depot’s Embers, Wal-Mart’s Expert Grill or any other private labeled store brand made by RO. Your tests here prove that name brand RO is better than whatever store brand RO for what ever reason. My experience with it is confirmed. Great test. I will have to give B&B a try.
It’s easy for me to find B&B at HEB here in South Texas. I usually use B&B oak lump... so cheap at HEB. 10 bucks for almost 20 pounds. I usually use Kingsford blue on my kettle when cooking low and slow on the slow n sear or when using my 14.5 WSM. I’m happy with the burn times, but B&B seems worth a try.
Man I love HEB! B&B is my favorite but it is hard to pass up two 20 pound bags of Kingsford at Home Depot when it goes on sale for 12 or 14 bucks... so I load up on kingsoford most of the time. Take care, I hope you enjoy my channel.
View to a grill so far so good. I like the videos. Every viewer is different but I prefer the longer format ones where you’ll see more footage of the grill, the coals being placed in there, etc. Although not necessary for the point of getting a recipe across, I like seeing people’s process because I learn new things that way.
I would love to get B & B but it’s really hard to find where I live. I say you can’t beat the price of Kingsford and as long as you throw some real hardwood on there, then you’re all set. 👍
I need to get a new bag of briquettes to see if they have changed. In another video I did a few weeks ago I noticed the lump changed after B&B was bought out by Duraflame.
I feel you, I stocked up on Embers at the beginning of the summer... and Kingsford on the Labor Day sale!!! enough to last through the winter... got about 20 bags left.
As of 2022 Royal Oak briquettes and lump are the worst I've ever had. Idk if their quality has gone to crap or what? The bag of lump was all pea gravel sized pieces. The briquettes were not dense at all and crumbled when moved in the bbq. B&B competition oak briquettes are the best briquettes I've ever used. One chimney full is enough for a six hour smoke.
@@Viewtoagrill Kingsford is old faithful. It's not the best but it's consistent and gets the job done. B&B is bar none the best for everything but especially smoking.
Where I’m at royal oak is 3x cheaper than BB. Seems the BB lasts 2x as long but not sure if the price difference makes sense. I’ll have to give it a try
Good idea but I think testing their burn rate while you can regulate oxygen like one does while smoking meats would be more beneficial. The outcome may be different while maintaining a realistic cooking temperature ie. 275 degrees.
That could be true absolutely. But I just don’t have four of the exact same cookers. If you notice I did use the same Weber chimney starters for each brand of charcoal. That was the close as I could get to keeping everything the same. So basically I did the best with what I had. As far as this test goes pretty satisfied with what I did to keep them all under the same conditions. Hey thanks for watching I really do appreciate it ..take care.
Well done. Results pretty much what I expected between my experience and seeing other tests. I'd love to use b&b, but it seems to be very expensive around me. I typically just use embers for day to day because I can usually get it the cheapest.
Hey Ron, I really appreciate you coming by. Not that it is going to make B&B any cheaper, but do you shut your grill down when you are done grilling. I do and then I reuse the old charcoal on my next cook. B&B really last when I do it this way... just a suggestion. Take care Ron.
I wish we could get B&B up here, never seen it and they won't ship it to Canada unfortunately. I have never really been too impressed with Royal Oak, the packaging is the same but it's no where near as good as basic Kingsford. I wonder if we get the "Embers" grade of their product line bagged as Classic, it looks the exact same as your Embers, very ragged edges and full of pits and voids. I just picked up a bag of Weber briquettes, see how that goes. No more sales on charcoal this year, we were dealing with shortages all last year between under supply and over consumption (hoard buying), because virus. Best of luck to all this year, Cheers.
Good luck with the bag of Weber charcoal... yeah it’s been a crazy year, it seems like we are getting close to normal at least here in Texas it seems that way. Take care.
Definitely going to stick to the bb charcoal. I buy Kingsford because bb charcoal is scarce where I live. Once it is in stock I usually clean out the shelf. I love clean it smokes as well as how long it lasts. I bet I could do a brisket on one bag and have charcoal left over!!
I usually buy kingsford because of the sales price... I just loaded up on it this past weekend... 14.99 for two 20 pond bags... bought 6 two packs... hard to pass up when it is priced like that.
Always use B&B unless there is a great sale. Really love their lump. Plus look at all that Blue bag ash. Also, finding a bunch of big rocks in some Oak I caught on sale recently.
Absolutely B&B burns cleaner and longer.... unfortunately I loaded up on kingsford the last time it was on sale and still have 10 or 12 bags... but when that is gone... B&B for me.
Agree. KBB quality is not what it used to be. I love the B&B lump oak for smoking. I guess I will give their charcoal a try, I think the Ace Hardware stores out here sell that.
The size of ones BBQ will influence the choice of charcoal. For small BBQs such as Weber Go Anywhere I prefer a smaller charcoal size (like Kingsford) with a little less heat. For big kettles and longer cook times perhaps the hotter longer burning variants are better.
I’ve just started using charcoal so I don’t know much. I’ve been using royal oak and idk if it’s me but the meat has not been tasting good at all and I have been having trouble keeping a clean smoke. Maybe I’ll try BB or kingsford next.
Nice video. It’s hard to find a big bag of B&B where I live (they only carry the small bag), so I get Kingsford and it’s fine. I’d get B&B if I could find the big bag without driving across town.
Wang, B&B is a great charcoal... but it is not in every store. I have to get it at Buccies, HEB OR academy. Thanks for watching I hope you enjoy the channel. Take care.
I coincidentally ordered three bags of B&B from Ace Hardware before seeing this review. I have dealt with their lump charcoal but was looking for a better briquette than Kingsford. Glad I got 3 bags of the 17 lb B&B.
B&B really does make a great product. I can only get the 17 pound bags from Academy... but that is a 30 minute drive. Thanks for watching the video. I hope you enjoy my channel. If you ever have a video suggestion, just let me know.
6:20 In terms off binders or addititives, dirty vs clean smoke::: Embers is trash. followed by Kingsford and Royal Oak. B&B is the best. If you do the snake method with any of these except B&B or Jealous Devil, you will be eating acrid/off-putting flavors in your BBQ.
I am not going to be drawing with the briquettes, I am going to be cooking with them. Also, this isn`t a beauty contest for briquettes. How hot, how long do they last, what flavor do they give the food, is what I am interested in. These "test" are useless but entertaining, so I watched for a little bit.
Great vid. Maybe a breakdown of the composition of each brand would be helpful, too....like the ingredients. I know I sometimes get a harsh chemical smell from some of the charcoals I've used in the past.
I resisted the urge to assume that B&B would outperform the others and chose to watch the video before passing judgement, allowing the evidence to speak for itself. I'm not surprised by the results. I stumbled upon B&B brand charcoal at my local Ace Hardware this summer and it has become my go-to briquette fuel. It simply delivers an appreciably longer and consistent burn than any other briquette I've tried, which is especially important to me because I typically cook low and slow.
Hello Timothy. B&B is a great charcoal for sure. Now you need to go grab some of the lump charcoal.. leaves an amazing flavor behind as well as burns clean and hot. Take care!
Hello Howard. I use kingsford probably.... 6 out of 10 times I grill... mainly because of the sales and availability... if I had a store closer to me that sold the large bags of B&B... I would probably use it more often.
Inkbird is having a GREAT sale on the IBBQ 4T right now. amzn.to/3wEVQly Be sure to check the box for an additional 30% off the total at checkout.
Guys like me appreciate guys like you....who take the time to do this for us! I like quality...so when I can I buy the good stuff.

Nice! I switched from Kingsford to B&B before this and felt it performed better. Wasn’t in my imagination. Thanks.
Cool. Glad I could help.
Recently switched to B&B from Royal Oak 5 bags ago. It's incredible how much better B&B is.
Yep, B&B has become my go-to charcoal.
I’ve used all of these (except Embers) over the years. Cost is a consideration. If I’m grilling something quick, like steaks or burgers, I’ll go with Kingsford or Royal Oak. If I’m cooking low and slow, I’ll use B&B because those larger briquettes last longer and maintain heat better. I also think they have slightly better flavor.

I do the exact same thing as you. During a long smoke you want a long burning charcoal.

2 years later. It has some decent flavor and good for igniting wood.
I've noticed over the years Kingsford's quality has gone down and so has the size. Looks like I'm switching to B&B thanks for the video!
B&B is gaining a good following. If they were to get into a national chain I think they could give Kingsford a run...
I used B&B on my gravity feed smoker last weekend smoking some butts and it was great. Flavor was amazing
@@troysmith2795 What kind of Gravity Smoker do you have... Stumps?? Masterbuilt?? B&B is some awesome charcoal. Take care Troy!
@@Viewtoagrill I have the Masterbuilt 560. It's amazing i love it.
Troy Smith awesome! Send me a pic of tour next cook and I will post it on my community UA-cam community page.
I’m glad I got 8 acres full of mesquite trees I got free wood all year long…occasionally I will buy some when they go on sale thanks for your video will try out b&b on the next one.
Nice. Thanks for watching Aaron!
I prefer lump, because it tastes better to me and I can reuse unburnt lump, also when I try to reuse briquettes they crumble apart! Great video
I agree. I find lump to leave a cleaner taste and si better for reuse. I have video planned for this subject for the coming spring.
Very nice
Johnny I was completely blown away by the b&b briquettes. They were waaayyyyy hotter and last longer than the kingsford blue I was using. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us!

Thanks for your comparison. I wished I would have seen it before I bought 160 lbs of Embers last weekend bc it was 6 bucks cheaper for each twin pack of 20 lbs than Kingfords twin pack of the same size. Being that I still have about 120 lbs of Kingsford sitting in my basement I went wild and bought the Embers. Well this weekend I tried Embers charcoal for the firs time, and true to the cliche, you get what you pay for. I read some reviewers that stated it was a little harder to start than Kingsford, so being that in my Weber chimney started usually gets the Kingsford coals ready in about ten to 12 minutes with just 2 sheets of newspaper, I doubled the amount I normally use to 4 sheets of newspaper. It still took the Ember's coals over a half hour to get started enough to dump into my grill. I was cooking some chicken indirectly with some apple wood chips on top, and it was really hard to keep the Embers temp high enough to smoke the chicken correct'y because a lot of the coals didn't even stay lit. Never had this trouble with Kinsford, so I learned the hard way. I'll stick with Kingsford from now on. Can't say I ever noticed B&B charcoal around here. Next weekend I'll try to mix the 2 charcoals and try to figure out a ratio that will keep the Embers from giving up.
The Embers in this video was the last bag of Embers I bought... even when I see it on sale I do not buy it. If you are like me you won't waste the Embers and muscle through it. LOL.. Take care. Great channel Name by the way.
I need to get me some B&B. Lifelong Kingsford guy here saying that! Thanks for sharing your experiment with us!
Hello Greg. B&B is hands down the best… really in all categories including lump. Take care Greg.
Royal Oak for the win only because of cost. I would love to burn B&B all the time, but not cost effective for me. I can get a 15lb bag of Royal Oak for $5 tax free all year round.
5 bucks!! winner!
I decided to switch back to charcoal and picked up a Weber kettle. The kingsford was on sale but the ace hardware a few miles away has a good stock of B&B. I decided to hold off and do some research. Thanks for making this video.
Hey Dap! B&B is good stuff for sure... and congrats on the new weber kettle, you will find a lot of stuff on this channel I use on my kettle I hope you enjoy and welcome to the channel. Take care.
Excellent test! I'm staying with kingsford. Because its always available, I'm used to it and price. B&B is the better product but it's not easy to find around me, the price is slightly higher too. Thanks for your test!
Hey Robert! Kingsford is good enough and priced right to be a lot of people’s choice. Take care! ... welcome to the channel!
The scientist/engineer in me suggests two things -
- Before/After WEIGHT of the charcoal would be much more accurate than the "Burned Ends Lufkin" method. Then we'd have to determine what, if any, effect that weight change had on performance. It's not good practice to simply say "This one's better because it created less ash [or lost less volume]".
- Be cautious in declaring a "winner". If BnB stays hot longer, that wouldn't be an advantage when cooking burgers or other quick cook items. Likewise caution declaring any particular charcoal as better because it reached a hotter temp. Unless you're cooking pizza, hotter charcoal is probably not "better".
I suggest familiarity and expectable results are likely the most important aspect of any cooking process.
Example - Whatever charcoal I use, I know that X amount of charcoal, started Y minutes prior to cook, with the vents open Z amount will give me 350 deg F for at least 120 minutes. If I continue to use that same charcoal, amount, and starting time, I can experiment with time and vent openings to get hotter, cooler, longer, shorter cook scenarios.
I'm pretty sure I would not be able to tell any difference in taste of chix, burgers, etc if cooked over BnB, Kingsford, Matchlight, Lump vs Briquette etc.
So all that being said, I simply buy reliable, low cost Kingsford in the blue bag. I've cooked on it for half a century and know what to expect. If I had cooked over some other brand, I'm quite sure I would feel just as confident about it's cooking characteristics.
Thanks for watching. I recently posted another video with some updates.
B&B is the best charcoal ive ever used. I agree
Andrew! The results don’t lie!... and B&B did last longer and I think burned the hottest! Take care care and welcome to my channel!
Never heard of B&B….but googled it and found out our local ACE hardware sells it. For long cookouts that seems like the one to use.
B&B was recently purchased by duraflame… not sure if the quality is still there, In my opinion the quality for the lump has decreased for sure.
This was really interesting to watch! I just bought embers for my BBQ and I really hated the taste they gave to the steaks!! Thanks for this cool video
Thank you so much.
@@Viewtoagrill Royal oak and Embers are the same. Anything with ridge is royal oak
.
Great to know. Thanks
Great test! I have always used Weber hardwood briquettes and loved them for my long cooks but I cannot get anymore. So I searched and saw your video and going to get B&B, thanks for the great information.. I’ll update with my results!
Thanks Justin! I really appreciate you and the positive comment. Absolutely come back and let me know how you liked it.
Fantastic video! Spent my lunch watching this and no regrets.
Hey I appreciate that I really do. This is the first video where I decided to make my channel an all around BBQ channel and not just cooking cooking. Take care and welcome to the channel.
I'd say B&B lasted longer, because of the bigger briquette. I think Weber is likely about the same from my limited experience with it. I go for what's on sale most of the time. I haven't tried B&B though. I'd like to give that a shot. Great test Johnny!
B&B worked really well. I was a little surprised it did so much better than the rest.
Great comparison video brother. I personally prefer Royal oak but an know alot of people love B&B. Thanks for sharing
Hey Jason, thanks for coming by man I do appreciate it. Take care Brother!
This is awesome, I will for sure try B&B next time. I will say this when it comes to lump charcoal, I was very disappointed with my last bag from Royal Oak. It was filled with a few really large chunks and a bunch of tiny pieces. I won't be buying that again.
BB is great and jealous devil is also a good one to take a look at. I have a newer charcoal comparison video go over and check it out.
About 6 months ago I switched from Kingsford to B&B and like it better
Hello Jav! If I didn't have to drive 30 minutes to get a bag I would buy it exclusively. ... but it is too easy to go around the corner and get Kingsford.
View to a grill I buy it around the corner from my house at the Tom Thumb grocery store, I was surprised to see it there so I started buying it since I heard how good it was. $5 for a 8 lb. bag. Now they’ve doubled their stock since I buy so much 😂
😋 I would have expected them to be closer in burn time! But I may just go ahead and stick with Kingsford! I do believe the food I get has a decent flavor when I use them! But I'ma also try the cheaper ones knowing that when I want a quick fire and a shorter burn time they can deliver!.
Thank you so much for watching Ron, I use Kingsford too... the sale price during summer holidays is hard to pass up!
Cant go wrong with kingsford but royal oak has a more smokey flavor.
I agree.
Man I gotta try some of that B&B.... thanks for the work you put into this video.
B&B is a great product. Thanks for watching Ryan.
I always wondered about this. Great content . Well done. Like the fact that you get straight to the point.
Thanks Carlton. I try to get straight to the point in all my videos. Take care.
Yeah I think you'll find terms of actual cooking that B&B briquettes are pretty good as well. I don't think the flavor is any different, but the burn time is a little longer in the B&B and you don't have to wait so long to get clean smoke. You get it immediately.
Hello Kelton! B&B briquettes are awesome.. .but for me it is so mucheaiser to pick up Kingsford.. if I was closer to a store that sold B$B I would use B&B exclusively.
Great review and comparison Johnny. You really broke those brands down! I usually use Kingsford or Royal oak. Nice job!
Those are the two most common.... and most reasonably priced.
This is a quality video, and I really appreciate the test you performed. Thank you.
Thanks Tyler! You just made my day. Take care and welcome to my channel.
@@Viewtoagrill Agreed, wonderful video. I bought the cheapest charcoal Walmart sells ("Expert Grill Charcoal") and it is HORRIBLE.
Tomorrow I'm buying a bag of B&B. They should pay you a commission! lol
Trin Pictures thank you!! I agree... LOL
Bro I got a of B&B cuz I couldn’t find the royal oak lump and immediately I saw the difference between the two I was sold… any grill man will disqualify be able to tell the quality… good video good content 👍
Hello Eddie. B&B really is a cut above. It’s not as widely available and it does cost a little more but it really is a great product.
I just nailed a low and slow cook on my notoriously difficult to maintain Akorn.
Edit: I meant with the B&B coal. Appreciate the video!
That is awesome!
I’m in a Weber Kettle Facebook group and I can say B &B is huge in that group. I wish I could find it down in Fl.
The briquettes are really good.
I’ve never tried B&B..But now I will!! 👍🏿
Awesome! Come back and let me know how you liked it! Take care.
Great video man. I just got into grilling started using Kingsford but was wondering about b&b. Thanks for the video.
Jerry thanks I appreciate it.
Thank you for doing this detail and putting the time in to test these for us
Thank you for watching Alan. I appreciate you watching and welcome to my channel.
Academy really has decent prices on B&B. I love that stuff. Started a basket at 10 this morning for a chuck roast (poor man brisket) It’s 4 now, still burning well. Only bad part is having to learn how to get controllable smoke temps
Learning temp control does take time to learn. The less you open the lid... the easier it is.
Cool video thanks. I just bought my first bag of B&B and I'm very impressed. Your video was spot on!
Thanks Batman!! I have to say I love B&B and I get it when I can but Lowe’s and Home Depot are literally around the corner and I usually buy Kingsford. .... Hey B&B... start selling at Home Depot!
I like Kingsford because that's what my Daddy used, takes me back, I've tried Embers and Royal Oak and I don't like their smoke flavor, haven't tried B&B but I will, for now, I'm gonna say it's between Kingsford and B&B as well
Hello. I love when something stimulates the senses and takes you back to great memories… can’t beat that.
I’m in the middle of running and experiment on three charcoals. I may post something pretty generic on my channel. I weighed The most “normal” sized Kingsford, B&B, and the new Jealous Devil Maxxx. Then, I placed them in water and submerged them and weighed the water they displaced. I used this to calculate their density. Kingsford was the most dense, then B&B and then JD Maxxx. My next test, which I will record, is to light each single briquette given the same amount of time and distance from a torch and see how long they burn until they are dust. I have to wait for the briquettes I tested to dry out because dunking them in water soaked them a bit. I didn’t expect Kingsford to be the most dense but as we see in your test B&B obviously burns longer even though less dense. The JD Maxxx is quebracho wood and I would guess it would burn the longest but we’ll see. The test will have to be taken with a grain of salt because the Kingsford is the smallest briquette and it would make sense that it burns less time. I will then calculate a ratio of time burned to size and see which one per unit of volume will be the best given the size it takes up. It’s all a bit ridiculous doing this, but I like doing these types of experiments.
Wow, that would be quit extensive. It should be a fun little test to do. Let me know whey you have it up so I can take a look, it sounds interesting. Take care.
After months of using Royal Oak briquets and B&B briquets, the Royal Oak emits an extreme amount of smoke. I literally have to wave people off who happen to be walking or driving by and tell them my house is not on fire. B&B produces very little smoke and don't have to worry about people getting alarmed. I find the B&B can be difficult to light up, even using those flame starters. Now I put a handful of Royal Oak briquets on the bottom of the chimney starter since RO lights up easier and fill the rest with B&B, that seems to work in getting the B&B to light up. Thoughts?
I do not have any issue with lighting B&B. I do have a newer charcaol comparison video take a look at that one to see comparison lighting.
First time I used bnb the smell of it burning sold me smells so much better than ol blue.
Hello TPF. B&B does have a nice clean burning wood aroma. Take care!
Great comparison. I like RO briquettes a lot. However, RO is the primary manufacturer of the majority of private label store brand charcoal briquettes. I have noticed that store brand RO briquettes are not as good as the name brand RO briquettes. Whether it be Home Depot’s Embers, Wal-Mart’s Expert Grill or any other private labeled store brand made by RO. Your tests here prove that name brand RO is better than whatever store brand RO for what ever reason. My experience with it is confirmed. Great test. I will have to give B&B a try.
Thanks Big Lew. Yeah the Embers did smoke up a bit... look the same but performed differently.
It’s easy for me to find B&B at HEB here in South Texas. I usually use B&B oak lump... so cheap at HEB. 10 bucks for almost 20 pounds. I usually use Kingsford blue on my kettle when cooking low and slow on the slow n sear or when using my 14.5 WSM. I’m happy with the burn times, but B&B seems worth a try.
Man I love HEB! B&B is my favorite but it is hard to pass up two 20 pound bags of Kingsford at Home Depot when it goes on sale for 12 or 14 bucks... so I load up on kingsoford most of the time. Take care, I hope you enjoy my channel.
View to a grill so far so good. I like the videos. Every viewer is different but I prefer the longer format ones where you’ll see more footage of the grill, the coals being placed in there, etc. Although not necessary for the point of getting a recipe across, I like seeing people’s process because I learn new things that way.
I think because of the size of the b and b briquettes, you should weight a set amount of each brand to make the test fair
Hey Shane. That was a tough call for me to make. I tested the charcoal how I use the charcoal. Which is one chimney at a time.
I would love to get B & B but it’s really hard to find where I live. I say you can’t beat the price of Kingsford and as long as you throw some real hardwood on there, then you’re all set. 👍
I need to get a new bag of briquettes to see if they have changed. In another video I did a few weeks ago I noticed the lump changed after B&B was bought out by Duraflame.
I love B&B but I stocked up on Embers at Home Depot :)
I feel you, I stocked up on Embers at the beginning of the summer... and Kingsford on the Labor Day sale!!! enough to last through the winter... got about 20 bags left.
Wow! Great comparison. I'm going to start looking for some B&B for those long smoke times. Thanks!
Thanks Robert! I hope you can find it. Take care.
Good video. I am guessing that being in a propane grill dominance market, one maybe two brands of charcoal will be available in my area
Only two...?? wow.
Great video. I just started using charcoal for grilling and smoking. And B & B is my go to as of right now. Until something convinces me differently.
Thanks Bill. Welcome to my Chanel. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Take care.
Bought B and B only because Ace was out of kingsford. I'll NEVER buy Kingsford again. B and B every time. Great video!
I agree B&B is the best! I still buy kingsford because it is SO hard to pass up the sales during the summer... next.. try the B&B lump.. also Awesome!
That B&B looks like great stuff but it is hard to find here in VA and over twice the price of K-Pro per lb. when you can find it.
It's good stuff Joe.
Royal Oak is ok if you're on a budget or that's all you can find. Kingsford burns better though, I notice a big difference.
Hello James. I agree. Take care.
Best grill channel on UA-cam !
I agree Mr Alexander!
As of 2022 Royal Oak briquettes and lump are the worst I've ever had. Idk if their quality has gone to crap or what? The bag of lump was all pea gravel sized pieces. The briquettes were not dense at all and crumbled when moved in the bbq. B&B competition oak briquettes are the best briquettes I've ever used. One chimney full is enough for a six hour smoke.
Hello Pedro. I agree, I have not purchased Royal Oak or the Embers since this video. Kingsford is hard to pass up when it is on sale. Take care Pedro.
@@Viewtoagrill Kingsford is old faithful. It's not the best but it's consistent and gets the job done. B&B is bar none the best for everything but especially smoking.
Very cool test Johnny! I primarily use Kingsford Blue briquettes and Royal Oak Lump. Have been wanting to try B&B for awhile but I’m cheap 😜
I'm cheap too.!! Thanks for watching Papa C!
Where I’m at royal oak is 3x cheaper than BB. Seems the BB lasts 2x as long but not sure if the price difference makes sense. I’ll have to give it a try
B&B is a very good charcoal.
I'm going with B&B from now on !
Great choices.
I’ll keep using Kingsford. Can’t beat it when on sale.
Exactly, when Kingsford is on sale... be sure to LOAD up! Take care.
One bag of B&B will last as long as two bags of Kingsford.
B and B charcoal is awesome, but can be tough to find. My local Ace hardware carries it, but that’s it. Their lump charcoal is really good also.
Hello Steve. I use the lump exclusively.... great stuff.
There’s a reason a lot of the Steak Cookoff Association winners use B&B Competition Oak. It’s simply the best.
B&B certainly is used by a lot of the comp folks. Hey thanks for watching. Take care.
Thanks dawg. I was always curious about that Embers bag cause it's so damn cheap at Home Depot and I do use royal oak all the time.
You are welcome bro! Cheap is not the best choice for briquettes.
Embers is burns a little longer And less ash
Good idea but I think testing their burn rate while you can regulate oxygen like one does while smoking meats would be more beneficial. The outcome may be different while maintaining a realistic cooking temperature ie. 275 degrees.
That could be true absolutely. But I just don’t have four of the exact same cookers. If you notice I did use the same Weber chimney starters for each brand of charcoal. That was the close as I could get to keeping everything the same. So basically I did the best with what I had. As far as this test goes pretty satisfied with what I did to keep them all under the same conditions. Hey thanks for watching I really do appreciate it ..take care.
Well done. Results pretty much what I expected between my experience and seeing other tests. I'd love to use b&b, but it seems to be very expensive around me. I typically just use embers for day to day because I can usually get it the cheapest.
Hey Ron, I really appreciate you coming by. Not that it is going to make B&B any cheaper, but do you shut your grill down when you are done grilling. I do and then I reuse the old charcoal on my next cook. B&B really last when I do it this way... just a suggestion. Take care Ron.
@@Viewtoagrill yep, I always shut down and reuse. Maybe I'll splurge on a bag someday and see how it goes.
Great comparison video!!
Hey, thanks King, thank you so much for watching my videos.
I wish we could get B&B up here, never seen it and they won't ship it to Canada unfortunately. I have never really been too impressed with Royal Oak, the packaging is the same but it's no where near as good as basic Kingsford. I wonder if we get the "Embers" grade of their product line bagged as Classic, it looks the exact same as your Embers, very ragged edges and full of pits and voids. I just picked up a bag of Weber briquettes, see how that goes. No more sales on charcoal this year, we were dealing with shortages all last year between under supply and over consumption (hoard buying), because virus. Best of luck to all this year, Cheers.
Good luck with the bag of Weber charcoal... yeah it’s been a crazy year, it seems like we are getting close to normal at least here in Texas it seems that way. Take care.
Definitely going to stick to the bb charcoal. I buy Kingsford because bb charcoal is scarce where I live. Once it is in stock I usually clean out the shelf. I love clean it smokes as well as how long it lasts. I bet I could do a brisket on one bag and have charcoal left over!!
I usually buy kingsford because of the sales price... I just loaded up on it this past weekend... 14.99 for two 20 pond bags... bought 6 two packs... hard to pass up when it is priced like that.
I'm still going to stick with Royal Oak all natural hardwood briquettes 😎👍🤙!!!!
Hey Jesse Royal Oak still a good charcoal we were just the results of a one time test and they were all pretty close
Always use B&B unless there is a great sale. Really love their lump. Plus look at all that Blue bag ash. Also, finding a bunch of big rocks in some Oak I caught on sale recently.
Absolutely B&B burns cleaner and longer.... unfortunately I loaded up on kingsford the last time it was on sale and still have 10 or 12 bags... but when that is gone... B&B for me.
Agree. KBB quality is not what it used to be. I love the B&B lump oak for smoking. I guess I will give their charcoal a try, I think the Ace Hardware stores out here sell that.
The size of ones BBQ will influence the choice of charcoal. For small BBQs such as Weber Go Anywhere I prefer a smaller charcoal size (like Kingsford) with a little less heat. For big kettles and longer cook times perhaps the hotter longer burning variants are better.
Great point. Thanks for by.
I’ve just started using charcoal so I don’t know much. I’ve been using royal oak and idk if it’s me but the meat has not been tasting good at all and I have been having trouble keeping a clean smoke. Maybe I’ll try BB or kingsford next.
Check out my How to get your charcoal as hot as hello video!
Great review. Have you done any comparisons on wood chunks from different companies? Do you recommend any particular brand?
Hilander, I have not done a wood comparison.
Nice video. It’s hard to find a big bag of B&B where I live (they only carry the small bag), so I get Kingsford and it’s fine. I’d get B&B if I could find the big bag without driving across town.
Wang, B&B is a great charcoal... but it is not in every store. I have to get it at Buccies, HEB OR academy. Thanks for watching I hope you enjoy the channel. Take care.
I coincidentally ordered three bags of B&B from Ace Hardware before seeing this review. I have dealt with their lump charcoal but was looking for a better briquette than Kingsford. Glad I got 3 bags of the 17 lb B&B.
B&B really does make a great product. I can only get the 17 pound bags from Academy... but that is a 30 minute drive. Thanks for watching the video. I hope you enjoy my channel. If you ever have a video suggestion, just let me know.
I have an Academy a mile away. Good to be in Houston I guess
Thank you. That was a review for us mere mortals. It was practical and useful. Great job.
Thanks Michael! It was a fun video to do. Take care and welcome to the channel.
6:20 In terms off binders or addititives, dirty vs clean smoke:::
Embers is trash. followed by Kingsford and Royal Oak. B&B is the best. If you do the snake method with any of these except B&B or Jealous Devil, you will be eating acrid/off-putting flavors in your BBQ.
I agree.
@@Viewtoagrill you are the man. In all the videos ive watched, ive never seen someone do the tape measure test. But it actually makes sense!
@@boohoohoohoo I have a newer charcoal video showing how Kingsford has gotten worse... check that out.
BnB seems the way to go, thanks great video
You bet, thanks for watching.
I am not going to be drawing with the briquettes, I am going to be cooking with them. Also, this isn`t a beauty contest for briquettes. How hot, how long do they last, what flavor do they give the food, is what I am interested in. These "test" are useless but entertaining, so I watched for a little bit.
LOL... well, thanks for some attention. Take care.
Great vid. Maybe a breakdown of the composition of each brand would be helpful, too....like the ingredients. I know I sometimes get a harsh chemical smell from some of the charcoals I've used in the past.
Hello John. Do you happen to remember the brand name?
I resisted the urge to assume that B&B would outperform the others and chose to watch the video before passing judgement, allowing the evidence to speak for itself. I'm not surprised by the results. I stumbled upon B&B brand charcoal at my local Ace Hardware this summer and it has become my go-to briquette fuel. It simply delivers an appreciably longer and consistent burn than any other briquette I've tried, which is especially important to me because I typically cook low and slow.
Hello Timothy. B&B is a great charcoal for sure. Now you need to go grab some of the lump charcoal.. leaves an amazing flavor behind as well as burns clean and hot. Take care!
AmAzing i love it Ik the grilling community appreciates you for this
Thanks!
Interesting experiment. I've been a Kingsford guy, but that may change.
Hello Howard. I use kingsford probably.... 6 out of 10 times I grill... mainly because of the sales and availability... if I had a store closer to me that sold the large bags of B&B... I would probably use it more often.
Awesome video man!!! You have confirmed what Ive been telling my family!! B&B is a better charcoal!
Hey Ronnie!! I got your back! B&B is really good charcoal if you can get it. I appreciate you watching and I hope you enjoy the channel. Take care.
