I wanted to let you guys know that Kingsford Professional Briquets (formerly "Competition") will be going on sale at Costco from June 9th through July 3rd, 2016. They will be selling the 2/18lb bag bundle for $15.69 after $4.30 instant savings.
I don't see much talk about these here, although I do see a lot of PBC owners say that the KBB charcoal flavor is too strong for them. The Kingsford Professional Briquets light easily, don't have that KBB smell, and produce a lot less ash. The only ingredients are wood char, starch (binder) and borax (to release from the press molds). No coal or limestone, which is found in the KBB product.
Just thought I would pass it along.
