Nice vid Troy! Looking forward to more. I love nakedwhiz - I used those reviews to find royal oak years ago and I've stuck to it. I usually get it at home depot.
DUUUUDE, me tooooo. I had 15 or 20 bags of that stocked up for a while, but burned through it years ago. I even saved a bag with the intentions of reviewing, just to show weber the pros/cons, but I got desperate for better fuel and used it.
Rockwood lump is the best I've found but it's expensive. I usually use B&B Oak Lump. Because the bags can get banged around during shipping, you're always going to get a bad lump bag once in a while no matter what brand you buy. It's the nature of buying lump. Love my kettles but wish the charcoal grate wasn't so open. It's easier to run the smaller stuff in a Kamado. Love the channel.
I've heard so many good things about Rockwood Lump. I'm pretty sure Ace was selling it for a while and I tried it, but I may be just imagining things. Great point about the small lump bits, i'll make sure I factor that in when I review it! Thank you for commenting!
Kingsford burns like clockwork but it's a fun challenge to adapt to a variety of charcoal types. I presently have 8 kinds of charcoal to play with. I liked how you cut that bag of Fogo open to view its contents! Your beard growing skills are unmatched as well!
I gave up on Royal Oak years ago. It comes with way too much trash in the bag. Worse is Cowboy Lump. My number one favorite is FOGO Brazilian Eucalyptus Blend Hardwood Lump. If that's not available, I will buy FOGO Super Premium Lump. There's always pieces that are too large, but breaking a large piece is better than small pieces. If I can't find that, I will buy Jealous Devil or Kamado Joe Big Block XL Premium or FOGO medium lump, in that order. Then it would be B&B lump. It's good, but I think it's mostly oak. So, I find the smoke to be a little over powering. I've never tried the comp. logs but I did try B&B Hickory Lump and I thought it was better. Years ago (15+), I used BGE Lump and I loved it, but I stopped being able to find it locally. When I tried it again, I didn't think it was as good. Rumor I heard was it was made by Royal Oak and it was basically RO's premium lump.
That is great insight, thank you!! Fogo Eucalyptus sounds so exotic, i'll have to try to find that one!! I used that BGE lump a few times as well. I liked it because they sold it in HUGE bags
@@spauldingjones5763 oooo really? was that the top shelf one with the green writing? thanks for pointing that out, I'll definitely go back and grab it!
I can’t believe how lucky you are in the USA to have so many brands and so many different categories of fuel so jealous of you guys, please enjoy you do not know how you are😊
@Weberkettleclub I usually just use them for low and slow (225-300) but they can get hot enough for searing and such... The jealous devil briquettes and lump is hotter than anything else though
@Weberkettleclub Hey Troy. The burns are acceptable. It is mainly the size that's inconsistent. Lots of small pieces as you found in the Fogo bag. But, also some very large pieces that barely fit in the kettle! At least everything I have found is actually from tree sources. Cook on!!
@@420vapezone you look so much younger. you ever heard of the Green Egg ceramic barbecue grill/oven? Anyway, it's great $1000 it cost me about 8 yrs ago. anyway, green egg has an all natural lump charcoal, no chemicals, this is so wonderful, you should try to find it. the taste of your meats, it provides, is the bomb, buddy
Blues hog briquettes from ace hardware is my go to. Their lump is 90% small pieces, dust, chips, I won't buy their lump. 2nd would be the good charcoal brand briquettes. Little more smokey then I'd like but burns hot and clean. The charking is royal oak rebrand. How have you never heard of jealous devil?
I'm not sure how I've missed Jealous Devil for so long... how many years has Home Depot been carrying it? I walk through the grill aisle *every. single. time* i go to home depot, maybe I just assumed it was some generic stuff.
The video was already in progress! Also i had previously good experience with the Fogo :\ I'm not sure what to think about them now... I'll probably buy a few more bags just to confirm

Jealous Devil lump and B&B briquettes
Excellent, thank you. Several comments have been in support of the Jealous Devil, that will have to be one of my next purchases
Damn right Troy!! 👊🏼, I really miss Weber charcoal! 😢

Oooh i'd love to hear more about your charcoal stash! Do you keep a variety of smoke-woods too?
I appreciate the comment good sir!
I like the tumble weed starter too l think whey work well
They work well! Do you always use them or do you have other techniques too?

@@Weberkettleclub No problem. I saw a couple of bags of the Fogo Eucalyptus at the Ace Hardware in your video FYI.
@@spauldingjones5763 oooo really? was that the top shelf one with the green writing? thanks for pointing that out, I'll definitely go back and grab it!
@@Weberkettleclub FYI, Amazon has B&B's Hickory Lump on sale for $14 a bag.
My local Ace Hardware has great selection. I’ve settled on Jealous Devil lump and B&B briquettes.
Good to know! Most Ace stores seem to have good charcoal selection
I love the B&B char-logs. Maybe just a bad bag?
I hope so. I wonder if it got wet or something
That is a bad bag of Fogo.
I hope you're right. I'll buy another couple bags to review
I can’t believe how lucky you are in the USA to have so many brands and so many different categories of fuel so jealous of you guys, please enjoy you do not know how you are😊
B&B oak briquettes and their lump. Jealous devil briquettes and lump if you like bigger chunks
Do you find that the Oak briqs burn hotter than the others?
@Weberkettleclub I usually just use them for low and slow (225-300) but they can get hot enough for searing and such... The jealous devil briquettes and lump is hotter than anything else though
B&B has always treated meme good I get it fromACE
Generally I grab Royal Oak from Walmart. It is inconsistent in its quality and size, but all I'm doing is burning it up anyway.
Thanks Kevin! Do you at least get consistent burns out of it? Is it just the size and shape that is inconsistent?
@Weberkettleclub Hey Troy. The burns are acceptable. It is mainly the size that's inconsistent. Lots of small pieces as you found in the Fogo bag. But, also some very large pieces that barely fit in the kettle! At least everything I have found is actually from tree sources. Cook on!!
We have using Royal getting it from HD, and we like it alot!!
Nice, the Royal Oak seems popular! Do you stock up or just buy it as needed?
@Weberkettleclub at most a couple of bags
how many years ago did you film this?
So many years ago that it was actually shot on film and I had to have it digitized for youtube!
That's why this video took so long
@@420vapezone you look so much younger. you ever heard of the Green Egg ceramic barbecue grill/oven? Anyway, it's great $1000 it cost me about 8 yrs ago.
anyway, green egg has an all natural lump charcoal, no chemicals, this is so wonderful, you should try to find it. the taste of your meats, it provides, is the bomb, buddy
Yeah the beard shaving thing really changes my face!
@@Weberkettleclub sorry for all my typos and edits- i've just medicated

@Weberkettleclub 5-6 years or longer
That guy on your t-shirt looks familiar.
Right? Found the shirt at goodwill and thought the same thing!
Last time I bought charcoal it was Royal Oak from Home Depot. Meh. Mediocre results. Better than Kingsford is all I know.
That's how I feel about the Royal Oak briqs as well. Better than Kingsford, but nothing special
BB is pretty good
You using the char logs or one of the other varieties? They have a lot of different products!
Thinking someone on the WKC forum recommended Jealous Devil XL Lump….. Not sure why you chose that crappy Fogo.
The video was already in progress! Also i had previously good experience with the Fogo :\
I'm not sure what to think about them now... I'll probably buy a few more bags just to confirm
Cowboy charcoal is the best I've found.
Cowboy lumps or briquettes?
@Weberkettleclub I've only used the briquettes. They burn really good, not much ash, at $8 a bag it's a good deal.
