I was shopping at Lowes today and found the Stubbs Charcoal. I've heard good things about it for the PBC, I'll give it a shot for my next steaks or wings to see how hot it burns compared to Kingsford

I like it Stubbs better when it comes to briquets. It's the best I've found.
-
I like Stubbs too.
-
Good stuff
-
Stubbs most of the time for me.
-
I like stubbs the best as well
-
anyone notice a flavor difference with stubbs? Does it burn at the same temp?
-
I believe it burns slightly hotter because it is all natural. I generally don't use temperatures when using the PBC, I keep an eye on the type of smoke coming from it.

I used the Stubbs tonight on some simple chicken tenders and I really prefer the flavor of the Stubbs Charcoal. It has a really good wood grilled flavor that IMO is better than the flavor from the Kingsford

Hey, the same with my wife every time I buy something ??? ???
I got to try it I grew up with kingsford so it is time to try something else.

I'm old & taste buds & smell slowly decreasing.
I know many who say they can taste the difference between , lump, briquittes , & different wood flavors.
I CAN'T !
Maybe between Apple & Black walnut ( nasty stuff) but that's about it.
Since between home & LostArrow hunting camp we go through 4-5 hundred lbs charcoal yearly I tell the boys to buy Royal Oak made or Kings ford when on sale.
-
When the Summer Holidays hit and you get 40 lbs of Kingsford for 12.99 and the Stubbs never goes on sale......you know what I will be hauling up the mountain ;)
-
I like Stubb's as well and use it in most of my grills and smokers when I need briquets. I also use Wicked Good, Rancher, and Kingsford Professional Briquets.
As for the standard Kingsford, just don't care for it at all.

I can smell the difference but as for it imposing a different flavor on the meat I agree, I can't really taste a difference.
I personally like the way Stubbs burns. Each type of charcoal has its own way of burning in my opinion and it is a matter of getting used to each type.

Like LA & Smoke, when KBB goes on sale in the next little bit, I'll be lined up. Between competitions, charity, and family cooks, I go through at least 400 lbs a year.
Like LA, neither I, nor any of my family members have an aversion to KBB. Plenty of people compete, and even thought I don't, a lot of them win with KBB.
I'm sure that Stubbs and all those other brands are great, I simply cannot justify almost double my fuel cost.

I pretty much only use Stubbs as well. I think the flavor is far superior to KBB. Cook times are identical to KBB.

Stubbs is good when I can find it ; have not tried the Kingsford competition yet so not sure what I'm missing . Most of my cooks are 2/3rds regular Kingsford , 1/3rd Royal Oak Lump and 1 wood chunk of oak or hickory plus one chunk of fruitwood (cherry , apple , orange , peach) depending on what I am cooking . I think once you develop a couple of flavor profiles you like then all is well !

Hello All,
I noticed Stubbs was on sale in my Lowes for 4.98/ bag.
Marked as clearance -- asked associate if this was being discontinued -- he shrugged and said -- my just be left over.
Anyway, grabbed a few bags -- at that price -- why not.
Cheers.

I just went by my Lowes and picked up 5 bags at 4.99 for 15lbs. They are on clearance. I'll probably go back and pick up more next paycheck

Good catch, I'll drive by our Lowe's on the way home...

I've been reading all of you extolling Stubbs so I passed by my local Lowes and got a bag. Although it cost about 35% more than KB, I think it is worth the premium. My old taste buds did detect a "cleaner" taste. The fact that it is 95% charcoal should yield more "juice" per volume than KB - at least the way I look at it. I did some chicken which was done in 90 minutes and then plugged the rebar and damper holes to stop the burn. I was amazed at how little ash was produced and how many coals were left to re-use. I am sold on Stubbs now. By the way for regular grilling I use Royal Oak Lump with always great results

I need to go back to Lowes, it's being discontinued and is only $5 a bag for 15lbs

Dang, I was just at Lowe's yesterday and I didn't look for it! I may have to make a trip to see if I can buy out what they have left :P

Hmmmm, it's back to the regular price of 9.99 on their website. I hope that means it's not on clearance anymore
