Costco has Kingsford "Professional" 2 18lb bags for $20. When its on sale it $14 for the 2 pack.
Hickory and mesquite are strong smoke profiles, typically paired with red meat like beef. Fruit woods are typically milder, often used with pork.

I cook most of my meat indirect at 550-600. I can get that nice crust without putting the meat directly over the flame, which imo gives too much smokey/soot flavor (think burger king whopper flavor).
I only cook steaks at high heat and there is no crust on mine. Of course mine are rare so they only stay on for a couple of minutes.
I prefer a heavy smoke flavor on most of what I cook. I cook my briskets for 18+ hours on the wood smoker. All those I give hand outs too also like it that way. I tried to cut back on the smoking time for a less smokey flavor and they all noted it wasn't as good.

Well, for one, I'm not sure I believe cooking over wood is a significant cancer risk. Its probably less of a health risk than frying (pan or deep) in various unhealthy oils. All charred meats are carcinogenic, aren't they? Regardless of the cooking fuel.
And no telling what poisons we are subjecting ourselves to with the materials the cooking pans are made of.

I'll just say mesquite has a tangy flavor stay away. I'll suggest hickory. I haven't cooked with fruit wood. I even know a chef that uses pecan shells with his smoking.

Apple wood is great. Mild but slightly sweet.

for starters the briquettes are not 100% wood, take a look at the lump charcoal price . . . that's a give away

lol, "various unhealthy oils" that is your prerogative

Not a fan. It burns too hot and too fast. Original is where it's at.

Agree, some people like stuff with more smoke, other less, but there are different smokes. One is meat dripping on the coals or other grill parts. That's not a taste I like. I like the wood smoke flavor that a good smoked meat has.

As far as the steaks go, I'm not making a burnt shoe either, I just like that brown char on the steak (not black!). Some achieve that with cast iron grates but that only gets part of the meat. I like more, hence the higher temps. Not that one way is right, its all about what you like!

I ordered the Kingsford original from HD. Went to Costco today and saw cowboy briquettes 18lb for the first time and picked it up as well. I have never used either of them before (always have used royal oak). Any inputs on which one is better? Obviously price wise kingsford is but cowboy is not too far off. So focusing purely on flavor

If anyone likes they can search for the news articles of the lawsuits between Weber restaurant employees vs Kingsford, alleging cancer caused as a result of their changing the blue bag formula to include anthracite coal.

This is why the Professional or other brand 100% hardwood + binder coals don't burn as long, and sometimes hot.

I think cooking over charcoal is fine, but that is qualified by not buying charcoal with petroleum related ingredients or additives. YMMV.

As far as woods, Apple is the only wood suitable for any meat, and should be the first to be tried. To me, personally, hickory, oak, or pecan are required for BBQ, but I don't do briskets or tritips, mainly pork and chicken. Again, to each their own.
