- This video is about Kingsford Long Burn VS B&B Competition Char-Logs. Yes, it is a LONG video... but this IS about long burning charcoal. And I want to give you the best information possible.
HVAC Unit: www.thermowork...
We did an honest, head to head comparison to see which of these "long burners" would perform the as advertised.
Both charcoals were lit at 2:15PM, and we were still able to cook on them at 6pm!
Most cooks don't ever last that long, but if you need them, they are ready for what you throw at them.
This was a close test, but B&B Char-Logs won. There were still hot coals on the B&B side over 7 hours later. It was an amazing result.
I know it's an old video but both were impressive, especially how much kingsford dropped but kept going.
Came across this video because I’ve been looking for these types of results. My plan is though for my tent stove. So I can sleep longer before having to feed the stove. Either would be good for me. But B&B is clearly the winner
3 years later ...just checking in to see if the B&B is still burning.
I still use it. I am also using Blues Hog Briquettes in comps now too.
re: B&B - I've heard these burn super clean, does that impact food flavor at all?
I do enjoy watching your videos. Very informative. Gonna try charlogs in the longhorn reverse flow, in teen temps. 😄
Charcoal and wood smell is wafting in my back door as I watch your video. Realism!!!!!
Sold! Ordering a bag tonight from Ace so that I'm ready for Memorial Day weekend!
I think I'm becoming a closet pyro, I find myself enjoying your content both entertainment wise and information wise. Keep up the good work and encourage Mrs Rolling Smoke to do a video or two...
Mrs Flying Smoke is ranked #7 in USA in Ancillary for the SCA
You didnt say what the B&B side at 6. You said kinsford was 550.
❤ Kingsford
Thanks for watching.
Honest question- is the B & B charcoal really worth the 2X price over basic Kingsford charcoal which I can buy at any hardware or grocery store? Respectfully asked.
For me, yes. Trying to get a $1,000 check at a comp, $8,99 a bag is worth it. And I use less.
At home, I use the first bag I grab. And as you can imagine I have a ton.
But normally,, I regret not using bb.
I’d consider Kingsford to be my go to. However, I recently tried B&B and I really enjoyed it. I could tell it burned better and smelled better when I cooked with it. I don’t do comps or anything and am just a backyard cook but as a basic backyard cook I did notice the a difference between the two. I’ll still get Kjngsford but if I am making something that I want to have a better/ cleaner smoke flavor I’d probably try and grab that B&B.
I purchased both, Hey!! he inspired me.👍🏾🎉
Why did you cut the video after Kingsford temp was at 550. Never said bnb temp
Not sure. I did that video years ago and I learn with each video. That’s why I love to read the comments. Y’all see things I missed or could do differently. Thank you!
Great video! 7 hour cook wow I’m impressed with both products. Thanks for the comparison.
Rich-E BBQ I was amazed. On a smoker that’s no big deal but on a grill running wide open! Thanks for watching
@@FLYINGSMOKE I disagree, 2am reloads are no fun. And since I like 250, not 600, these are gonna last a long time with the choke cranked down.
Thanks for this video. I found this while trying to find a comparison of B&B Char Logs vs. B&B Oak Briquettes. The Academy Sports here in Keller, TX is almost always out of the briquettes. I buy all 3 varieties of their lump, as well as Char Logs at Academy. I have been able to get the 8.8 lb. bags of briquettes at Kroger, and have an adequate supply for a couple of months. Based on this video, and another one you posted, it looks like i should be able to use B&B briquettes and Char Logs interchangeably, or at least mixed in together. Does that make sense?.
Yep! I am so stoked that I was able to help you
Great video what part of tn at you from
Memphis
What gloves are those mate?
Which ones? Are they grey or black and red?
@@FLYINGSMOKE The ones at 5:40 !
Ice Wallow those are welding gloves I got on amazon. They are good for normal stuff. But Kevlar gloves are good too. Check the heat rating
Ok I’m on the way. 😁
I'd like to see Weber vs B&B
FatBoyEats I’ll look for it. I assume they are Briquettes?
Yes Ace hardware has them
Have you tried Kingsford on the other side? Where is your bottom vent?
It was my PK there are 4 holes in the bottom, and 4 on the top. I shoot Kingsford but it is not my go to. Too much smoke but a lot of places don’t have some of the great charcoal we have in Memphis.
@@FLYINGSMOKE Cool man, thanks. I was just wondering if the Kingsford was getting one side or the other. Thankyou for the reply!
FLYING SMOKE It seems like more smoke would add more of that good charcoal taste, no?
Thanks for the video....I think I have switch from kingsford to all B&B products.. I have a few orange bags & a few char-logs ready to be used...now can the char-logs be used for low & slow?
Dominique Mckelvey in fact that is where they should shine. So clean, what ever wood chips should give you pure flavor
The only thing I don't see here is a comparison of which flavored the meat more and which penetrated the meat with a smoke ring more. This only tells the story that it "Burns cleaner" but that does not always translate to best flavor. Would love to see the smoke rings one day from B&B compared to Kingsford. Also a flavor comparison with blind taste test between B&B and something like Cameron's or Western premium
Great comparison video flying smoke I switched to B and B after watching your charcoal comparison. Can you leave a link to where to bought the stainless wire that attaches the grill grates to your pk grates ? Thank you and keep the videos coming
I bought it at a local Stewart Brothers store. I’m sure it’s available on the www
So of the two which one is cheaper per lb.? Great video I loved the sound of the burgers when you put them on.
Jonathan Hicks first , thanks for watching!
The B&B is $14.99 a bag at Academy. The Kingsford my wife bought... and she is asleep. I’ll ask her tomorrow and put it in the links
Hi! I have found that per pound off the shelf, the Kingsford is cheaper, however, with BnB you can use much less. So cost per cook, is really even.
Thanks
@@FLYINGSMOKE You do the reviews, I do the math... :) Hope to meet up again, it was a blast!
It’s a deal
i love watching your videos.they are very informative.the real winner is the B&Bchar logs.be safe and keep those videos coming.god bless.
That means more than you know. Thank you for your comments
Thanks for the great video. I only use B&B on all cooks.
Thanks for watching!
Hate to bust your bubble but your test turned out exactly as one would expect. When you use the same volume of different size logs, briquettes or similar product (they were) (a big difference in size) the bigger is always going to outlast the smaller because it will burn at a lower temp to start with because of less surface area than the smaller. At some point the smaller product will burn out quicker and the two products temps will approach equilibrium. (they did) with the bigger product being hotter later when most of the smaller product is gone or ashed out. When you want a camp fire to last a long time you put in big logs so they burn slower and last longer than small ones which burn up quickly and hotter. You should have separated the two products for your temp tests. You stated at the 4:00 test there was only about a thirty degree difference. Try 55 degrees according to your actual readings. Almost twice what you claimed. Slanting your bias a little towards the B and B product. It probably benefited a few degrees of higher temp from the kingsford product being in the same container or the temp difference would of probably even been greater. These are apple and orange products. Switch the products size and the kingsford would outlast the B and B. Its just plain physics or science if you will. I don't have a dog in this. Just wanted to say that you cant claim that the B and B product was the (winner) because your test is really not a fair test. Both products preformed excellently. They're just different. I use kingsford for Dutch oven cooking because of there consistent size hence consistant heat distribution on and around the oven itself. Kinda long winded aren't I.
Looks like the B&B briquettes outperfrom the kingsford briquettes as well. Granted the B&B briquettes are slightly larger. The smoke also seems to be a whole lot cleaner across the B&B line when compared to kingsford. B&B for the win!
Where do I buy the B&B at...?
I wonder how the B&B Logs would do in my WSM...?
Try academy sports
ZiggZagg11 I think they would do great! They are monsters at long burn.
ZiggZagg11 I get them at local Academy Sports here in Memphis
Ace Hardware
I need to find some b&b in central Wisconsin soon or I will order some. Great informative video
They are expanding so keep an eye out!
I live in Wisconsin and ace hardware carries B&B charcoal.
I own a 26 Weber Kettle with a Slow and Sear xl. I used these Kingsford Long Burn and started with a mini chimney starter. The kettle was still at 225 16 hours later., but I like using lump charcoal better because it is cleaner and produces less ash.
Russyl Royer I use Lump a lot too. Same reason. Thanks for way
What would you use with a Kamado Joe, everyone keeps telling me never use briquettes. All I’ve used is lump so far and have no complaints, but I’m smoking not grilling. Like your channel
larry patt thanks for watching! The kamado is ceramic so check with manufacturers. But the char logs burn very clean! But like with any briquettes you have more ashes
Rubbed your eye, you gonna cry! 🤣
7 hours. Very nice. That means in my akorn I should be able to pull off an entire over night and all day smoke with the vents closed down!
Julian Kirby well maybe not fully closed. But they burn a long time
FLYING SMOKE that’s what I meant, sorry for my excitement over riding my ability to form a good sentence. I ordered a bag and I am now waiting for it
Skipped B&B temp at 6
Yea, it’s a learning process
Great video where can you get bb online for mail delivery?
Not sure. Check out their website. You can also go to my friend Mark Lambert’s site: www.ssomd.com and he ships
It stands for Sweet Swine O’Mine distributing
Try Ace hardware.

Take the lid off so you have no airflow off one side of your grill seriously
This grill is aluminum, and when used properly it becomes an oven that uses the heat from the coals and heat from the sides and top. It also promotes more smoke flavor
This channels will explode like bbq pit boys keep doing what doing and bbq some bologna
Doom Slayer I LOVE bbq bologna! And thanks for your comments.
no thank you,i'm a kingford at heart but now i'm going to change to b&b char-logs for my brisket and racks of ribs from now on.
Jeff Kuipers I think I will too. Thank you for your comments
Nice test but to be completely accurate you should have tested them separately. One charcoal could be producing more heat. I’ve used long burn 1/3 of a bag and had 250 for 10 hours. Not a blue bag fan, but I caught it for $4 a bag. Generally I use a mix of lump and briquettes. I do like B&B lump. I agree with most that blue bag does produce way more ash.
Boslager's Cooking & BBQ I kno. But then I would need 2 PK Classic grills. And that’s another $300. I have 6 coolers and my wife would not be hPpy. Thanks for your insight
FLYING SMOKE nah, you do the same test in 2 videos on the same grill. No need to have 2 grills. Just need to make sure the conditions are relatively the same. Putting them side by side there are too many variables IMO. Go check out @thewoodshedsmokeandbbq he has a bunch of charcoal tests. Good video, just had your channel recommended today.
Boslager's Cooking & BBQ I’m trying sir. But you all hav given me excellent notes
Looking forward to seeing Boslamgers videos
True, but I don’t have $300 for an extra PK. Maybe some day
wahoo, get you over to Australia...... that BBQ looks awesome, makes me want to ditch my gas Zeigler BBQ
Thankful you enjoyed watching! Aussie Q is blowing up right now mate!
I can't believe how you can compare these when you got your lid on one bran so it has no back draft How can you take the lid off and do our real comparison and maybe do it by weight like I told you before so I guess I have to do my own test is you're not doing it right
Heavy breather
It’s the best mic I can afford. Sorry
Dude you have got to get your weight down so we can continue to enjoy your vid's.
