Discount Stubb's 46015 Natural Charcoal Briquettes, 15-Pound

Customer Ratings:

I love this stuff! I've tried just about every brand that is available where I live and this one is by far the best. No fillers or additives, and it cooks almost like lump charcoal without the fast burn time and unburned lumps left in the cooker.

Imagine my disappointment to discover that it sells for $17.99 on Amazon and $8.99 at Lowes.

When I first viewed this product, there was only one review and that reviewer did not like these briquettes because of their "smokyness". My first thought was, guess I better NOT order these. But after re-reading the description where it spoke of a real wood fire taste, I remembered that real wood does smoke. Another look at the reviewers comment did not tell what they were cooking. But I am sure they were dealing with meat and meat has fat. I decided to try both the Stubbs and also a bag of Duraflame hardwood briquettes. Three days ago, when my Duraflames were delivered, I tried them. They imparted a very nice flavor to my T bone steak, hamburger and even Italian Sausage. Well, today the Stubbs arrived and I promptly cooked up my tasty trio. An OVERWHELMING success!!! Not only was the taste like using natural wood, but these briquettes lasted twice as long as my Duraflames did. As far as smoking, yes there was some smoking, but so did my Duraflames. I don't think the Stubbs brand smokes any more than did the Duraflames. The Stubbs brand also states that they use a natural binder to hold the briquettes together. I think that's why these impart more of the flavor of a real wood fire. The Duraflames did have a different undertone/flavor that seemed to taste like a fire that didn't burn off all the lighter fluid. Not to say that the Duraflames were offensive, but when I tasted the foold cooked with the Stubbs, I then realized there is something different about this charcoal. It was like the flavor of natural wood when it begins to "char" over as you cook on it.

BOTTOM LINE... The only smoke I encountered was from burning fat from my meat. But I highly recommend this product for it's NATURAL WOOD FIRE FLAVOR with that marvelous "char" flavor and absolutely no petrolium undertone whatsoever.

Stubbs briquettes are the best, I have been using them for 5 years, used to be able to get them at Lowes. When they discontinued I bought on line, very happy. Thanks

Honest reviews on Stubb's 46015 Natural Charcoal Briquettes, 15-Pound

I've been using these briquettes for a few years now and love them. While they do put off a lot of smoke when started, they quickly settle down with little smoke once burning. They burn evenly and for quite a while.

My local Lowe's stopped carrying them and I started trying lump charcoal and other briquette brands. The lump is fine but most doesn't burn as nicely as as this and other brands had additives/chemicals which I can't stand.

Great briquettes and worth the hassle of having them shipped to you.

I write this as I use another briquette for my current brisket smoke, (Embers). STUBBS ARE THE BEST!!!!! While they take a little longer to light up, stubbs don't have that asphalt taste of Kingsford or the sulfury smell these Embers briquettes have. Really wish I could have made it to Lowes and pick some up this time. next time I get there I may just buy out the whole store. While I am sure there are better briquettes out their, I doubt there are any in this price range that can compare.
