I'm assuming it's B&M and they just forgot to mention that, seeing as he's mentioning the "Tags".

I've heard they get hotter too. May be good for searing?

Just FYI, but I cooked 36# of pork shoulders on my very low-tech New Braunfels Black Diamond yesterday and got 11 hours out of one 15# bag of Royal Oak Lump. And not much ash, either. Great stuff. I don't even have to wrap them in foil it's so mild.

For comparison, original blue bag was 2 18lb bags for $10 at lowes/homedepot or 2 15 lb bags for $7.88 at walmart, or 1 15 lb bag for $5 at target last sale around memorial day.

These are good
I get funny taste from original or normal or white bag. But I think people blame "funny taste" on briquettes when the culprit is likely one of: 1. EVOO 2. grease dripping onto briquettes.
I've never had a funny taste from these.
I love to use them because they burn completely, get hot quickly and as such, yes good for searing. I use only these when making "chicken under bricks", which requires med-high indirect heat. I put a tin under the chicken and stack hot pro's on either side, works very well as it lasts about 40 min and these don't fizzle out or burn unevenly. Throw wet pecan chips in at some point.

I also use them to get a grill hot, or a handful in the bottom of a chimney to get lump charcoal started faster.

The fact that I usually don't have to clean out unburned briquettes is worth the extra cost.
