Favorite charcoal?

I stock up on KBB when Home Depot has their big sale, but last year they went to a smaller size instead of the king size bag
a chimney makes charcoal lighting so much easier, haven't looked back to gas since getting the aussie.

The price per lb initially went down with the smaller bags. Twin 20lb bags used to be $9.97, so $0.25/lb, while the twin 13.9lb bags were $5.88 which works out to $0.21/lb. For the Labor Day sale, they had raised the price to $6.88 for a twin 13.9, bringing it back to $0.25/lb.

I suspect that the smaller bag sizes were to get more bags available for the 4-pack per person limit that no stores around here bothered to enforce.

I love my old gas grill, the side burner on it is great for lighting the chimney.
The cook chamber doesn't even have burners in it anymore, I just use it for storing utensils and it's a convenient place to keep a fire extinguisher.
