Default Original Charcoal Co. 20lb. Lump Briquettes at HD


My local HD (Fairfield, CA) has these now, 20lbs for $4.99
(sitting next to Kingsford briquettes, 42lbs for $12 and change).

One the Original Charcoal Co. bag, it says that the briquettes
are made from hardwood lump and yucca starch. These, in fact,
appear to be 100% vegetable lump-based briquettes, something
I'd only read about before and have wanted to try since.

The bag claims it's equivalent to 34lbs of "coal dust"
briquettes, probably because of the lack of uncombustable
filler. I bought 4 bags to test for both grilling and
smoking, I'll report back.
