Coal brickets

mrclean28 · Nov 15, 2015

What is the best coal brickets to use in a smoker that lights andburns better. The recent ones I got forgot the name seems to not do as good as Royal 100% coal brickets.

Everyone has their preference. I like Kingsford Competition or Original personally.

I use Royal Oak lump (USA) for a bed of coals. I light the lump with about 2/3 chimney of Royal Oak briqs. I don't know what type of cooking you do, but when my lump is at a good coal bed, I add my splits and flavor wood. I hope this helps.

Good luck and good smokin', Joe

I smoke and grill with coal. I used the electric starter and add apple wood for flavor. Thanks for the help. Royal does seem to work the best.

Great... Forgot to mention that you will also have a lot less ash with lump.

I tried cowboy coal this summer and was not impressed. Quick burn and a lot of ash. Royal oak all the way.

Agreed I am returning to Royal Oak

Do you guys find that lump doesn't last for a 15+ hour smoke? I love lump for grilling, but have only used it once in my WSM.. hence my switch to Kingsford Comp.

Lump doesn't last as long as briqs. For my short cooks I use lump and briqs for long cooks.

Lump also burns hotter.

IMHO Stubbs charcoal briquettes are as good or better than Kingsford Comp and at $9 a 15 pound bag at Lowes they are a better value as well.

I have not seen Stubbs around here. I will keep my eyes peeled.

Is that the same Stubbs who makes the rubs and sauces?
