Charcoal
I use B&B. It’s a really good charcoal for the price. Consistent size chunks, burns clean and I haven’t found any filler. You can spend as much as you want on some of them. The favorite I’ve tried is Rockwood but I can buy two bags of B&B for the price of one Rockwood (about).
Worst I’ve used was Cowboy. All kinds of random filler crap in it.

B&B user as well. Oak works well for me when smoking even if I don’t throw any pecan/oak/mesquite splits in the fb.

I’ve had good experiences with the Fogo Super Premium. The regular Fogo didn’t seem to be anything special. B & B has done me right as well.

I use B&B, lights quickly using a chimney and cooks well.

Re: Best Lump charcoal
Bought a bag of Jealous Devil a little while back and it really burns hot, clean and for a long time. Price isn’t that friendly but I think I’m getting more cooks per bag

B&B here as well. Oak primarily although have used hickory as well. Lights great, excellent heat and just enough smoke for flavor although I use pecan and oak splits for most long cooks.

Re: Best Lump charcoal
Anyone using the Blues Hog brand? Seems to be the flavor of the month.

Re: Best Lump charcoal
I haven't used any Blues Hog charcoal products. I did watch this YT video review recently that included Blues Hog lump charcoal, keeping in mind it's something on YT and not something I've tested myself.

The guy doing the testing is currently sponsored by B&B Charcoal but my impression is he didn't have a sponsor when he ran and uploaded his tests.
I use Frontier hardwood lump charcoal myself.

Re: Best Lump charcoal
The best lump I've ever used was Ozark Oak. Sadly it's really no longer available.
Now I use B&B.

There's still some 10 lb & 20 lb bags of Ozark Oak lump charcoal available on Amazon. Too pricey for me though. But comparable to the $/lb for Jealous Devil charcoal on Amazon.

B&B only thing allowed in the front door, anything else the dogs start acting all snarky.

Re: Best Lump charcoal
I’ve used red oak and mainly jealous devil ever since I called their customer service line and spoke to their president of their company. Great to talk to and gave me a deal on a pallet of their stuff. I’ve got 9 bags left so I’ll have to buy another next year for sure.
