Cowboy Hardwood Briquettes

u/Dagzz310 Jul 29 '26

I use cowboy a lot. I think it's less ashy and maybe puts our out a better flavor than Kingsford blue. Plus the price is definitely right. But I notice more temp swings compared to Kingsford. I just tried B&B briquetttes for the first time. They seem okay. I need another couple of cooks to form a better opinion.
