Thank you for making this video Tom! No one on KZfaq has yet to do this comparison and your the first! Right on!

Great video Tom! Thanks for the comparison, I absolutely love my jealous devil briquettes but man it's hard to beat those B&B's!

RE 7:50 there has to be a binder to keep the nugget together. Per the website for B&B: What are Oak Briquets? Our briquets are larger than the average briquet and are made from a blend of charred hardwoods that is held together with a vegetable starch binder.

Great comparison. B&B for me too. Great product especially for the money. I used B&B last night in my Vortex in the Weber Kettle and grilled some bone in chicken and the flavor was great! Thanks for sharing! Happy 4th

Great comparison, Tom!

Hey Tom, fellow Wisconsinite here (in the Milwaukee/Greenfield area) I just wanted to say I really enjoy your content. I love seeing the mods you’ve made to your grills. Regarding the vegetable starch in Jealous Devil, not much is added and from what I understand it’s used as a binder as a safer/healthier alternative than chemicals/additives etc. I poked around on a few of the name brands and found that it’s definitely a thing in the charcoal industry. B&B has it listed on their site as well. That’s all, thank you for the time and effort you put into your content. Always look forward to watching. 👍

had to comment b4 i watched video. Both of these charcoals are FIRE! Two different flavors, and both are awesome!

I've been very impressed with B&B and it's a good value 👌.

After watching your videos, I made the switch about a year ago to B&B in my Akorn. The grill is so efficient and the charcoal last so long I go through a bag in about 3 to 4 months grilling once a week. The flavor is pretty good, too.

Good Demo, Tom! B&B long and slow, short and fast, and readily available for a fair price! For a regular 40 minute indirect cook, half my briquettes are preserved for the next cook!

I'm B&B all the way Tom! I can get two cooks out of most of my cooks with B&B. I even use their lump as well for LONG slow cooks...just love the B&B all around! I use it in my SNS 22" kettle. Gr8 vid! Thnx! Chris L

I don't know if it's just the Walmart near me, but they really stepped their charcoal selection up this year.

Nice job Tom. Maybe use one of your temp probes with an app to track the temp. It would be nice to see the temp graph for each, side by side. 👍

I don't use charcoal much, but if I did I'd be using the B & B. Great video Tom, thanks.

I just started using BnB. Great results!

I do a lot of longer cooks on the PK with a setup that doesn't allow for adding charcoal. Switching (after watching your videos) to B&B from Royal Oak All Natural has made life so much easier. I haven't carefully tested it like you did here but I think it burns a third longer or a bit more. Thanks for promoting quality product.

🎉I spent few weeks in Texas, academy sports had b&b for 8.99, that alone was temptation to move there

B&B is what I use Tom and would pick especially at half the cost. I’d like to see a comparison between B&N vs Weber’s briquettes. Thanks for sharing Tom!

Cornstarch, so what. Kingsford is packed full of sand.

Thanks for the great video. Just got the sns travel grill and have been using b&b with good results, unfortunately here in northern California b&b costs the same as jealous devil. Thought I was supporting a made in USA product but since it's actually made in Mexico might just switch to jealous devil for the higher temperature and use less of it.

Thanks TOM!

Walmart lists B&b, but it’s not available or for sale in my area, so it’s only ace hardware, which makes the price very similar. Walmart is just easier to get to, and they’re open on sundays, where Ace in my city closes on sundays and closed by 6pm other days.

Thanks for this, B and B is long burning,, Then I tried Blues Hog charcoal... Really long burn time.. Try it out.

I switched to B&B after watching this video a few months ago and it has been great in my akorn jr and chargriller 980 but after the storm here in Houston people bought up all the stock in Walmart and now sells for $27.50/bag by 3rd party sellers. Have to switch to Jealous Devil for the time being until Walmart receives more stock.

It’s Quebracho wood (a very dense wood) on the Jealous devil. The corn starch is the binder if I’m not mistaken. Typically have kingsford blue, B&B briquettes and Max briquettes on hand and use them depending on what I’m doing.

Ive struggled with Jealous Devil and usually gotta mix it with some cowboy charcoal, the royal oak logs are decent but as a first time user of B&B briquettes, wow, just wow. My turkey came out beautiful, juicy. I accidentally made the snake too long do I decided to see how long (like 3/4 around my nexgrill kettle lol) it takes before its finally done.

Thanks for the video. Always great. I do have to believe that if the charcoal is in consistent squares it has to be molded using a binder. It may be corn starch which is at least maybe natural but something has to be used. Why B&B says no fillers, makes me wonder what their definition of filler is.

Love your content and the comparison. Just FYI Walmart has some fuzzy math there. As 9.97 for 16.9 lb bag is $0.59/lb. Still cheaper than JD but most of us can’t get B&B at WM. Also as many have said, the price ace sells B&B for is very similar to JD (just under $1 per lb).

I really appreciate the content. I would make a recommendation to revise your methodology for this comparison. The procedure seems reasonable for checking the "hotter" part of the equation. But to fairly compare the "longer" I would recommend running at the same temperature for both. A hotter fire will burn fuel faster than a lower fire. I suspect they will be more comparable if kept at the same temps. Again, really appreciate the content.

I don't know what happened here about a year and 1/2 ago, but... I simply cannot even FIND Jealous Devil anywhere! I ran out of it so long ago that even the memories are beginning to fade. 😲

I still have some of that B $ B left. Have you tried the Jack Daniels Charcoal pellets or Charcoal? I enjoy those too!

Two Best briquettes on the market, both smell great and burn hot and long B&B has a stronger smoke taste profile JD has a very subtle taste profile, might need to add chips/wood chunks for smoke profile Post Oak vs Axe Breaker B&B and JD are both a $1.00 a lb here in California

Unfortunately I have to go out of town to find B&B and I ran out. Supposed to be high winds tomorrow but I need to smoke a pork butt on my Pk. I have B&B Char-Logs, Jealous Devil XL briquettes, and Cowboy Hardwood Briquettes. Recommend one in particular? Or use a combo to fit as much fuel in as I can? Probably will dump lit in bottomless coffee can and corral the charcoal with the straight side of a charcoal basket like last time. Good comparison video!

I like B&B lump or charcoal. I burn a lot of regular Kingsford. If I want a long cook B&B. Thanks

Vevor now has a grill with cart that is just like webers. Are you going to do a comparison? I think vevor is one inch smaller so many accessories will probably not work well

B&B all the way - lump or briquettes.

Hey Tom, two weeks late with this observation and I'm sure someone already commented on this but when you burned the JD the hottest temp shown on your temp gauge was 325 not 350. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That Walmart deal on the B&B is unreal. They ship it for free. In store those bags are pushing $20

Jealous Devil is all everyone around here is using right now. I just went to a comp and won with Jealous Devil and also won a bunch of Jealous Devil lump charcoal. However, I really prefer the flavor of B&B. Once I get through all this JD, I’m going back to B&B.

Which charcoal one would like depends upon flavor. B&B is strong & for me obliterates the flavor of the meat. Jealous Devil's is much milder accenting the meat--not overpowering it

Are these 2 Charcoals available in Anchorage Alaska or Honolulu Hawaii?

My Walmart just had the 20 pound bags of jealous devil for $11 a bag.

Price per pound for the B&B is wrong. It would have to be a 40lb bag for the price to be 24.9c/lb. It's still cheaper than Jealous Devil but the actual cost is around 56.6c/lb.

Please forgive my ignorance but what's bad about using corn starch as a binder for the briquettes?

B&B... 👍🏾💯

B&B is always the best💪

B&B is the better value, but the JD was impressive as well, just expensive.

B&B briquettes all day long...but Jealous Devil lumb charcoal no brainer!

Regarding that pricing, I think there are VERY few Walmarts that carry B&B charcoal, so 99% of people can't get it at that $9.97 price.

You just seem to not be able to get past B&B. Is it because they are a sponsor?

B&B very consistent

How are these companies allowed to steal the design for Weber

B&B is 56.6 cents per bag at 9.97

Jealous devil lump is great but briquettes are awful. They crumble and disintegrate quickly and don't last.

Jealous Devil is Quebracho wood. And all briquettes have starch so I don’t know why you using that against them?

B&B for the win! So my wallet says.

Corn Starch!!! I'm sticking with B&B

Jealous Devil uses Quebracho wood.
