They both burn long, and both give good flavor, I might give the edge to the Kamado Joe on flavor, and I might give edge to Kamado on size/consistency… if you have a smaller grill then some of the kamado chunks may be too big. In general bigger chunks burn longer, so I prefer kamado to b&b. Average size of b&b chunks I'd say is like a Twinkie or a whole dill pickle, size of average kamado chunk maybe double that, which makes it better for really long cooks.

How does this compare to B&B Oak Lump? Walmart currently has B&B 20lb bags for $14.99.

I'd say the KJ big block is better than b&b, but I've only used b&b a couple times. KJ big block is my go to for long low and slow cooks.

How does Amazon package this? Is it going to be broken to bits due to handling?

Pretty massive difference in my limited experience.

I tried the Walmart b&b exactly once, it was mostly crushed and burned pretty terrible. I may have just been unlucky.

This stuff, it's almost a troll how big the pieces are, I have a XL Kamado and some of them are still to big, which is kind of dumb but it's better than buying dust.

Of course bigger pieces take longer to burn. But that does not translate into longer cooking times versus the smaller pieces. Lump charcoal is a fuel and has a BTU/pound. Using smaller pieces means you can add more lump (fuel). The more you start with the longer the total burn time. It would be like having 20 gallon of gas in your car versus 15 gallons.

Overall, I had very good experience with them until I bought the batch in Costco some time ago. Those were terrible - small pieces which burned with unpleasant oily smoke initially. Interesting enough - this (bad) batch had coals packed into another plastic bag inside the paper one.

I used these a few times but not a fan. 25% are huge and don't burn well unless you let them sit in your chimney for a long time then the rest of the bag is the same as the others. Masterbuilt is my favorite now. Solid heavy medium sized pieces that burn long

I have got these lump charcoals from diff vendors and alot of them come with 70% small pieces (not lump). Not worth it!

People will tell you that KJ is better and they'd maybe be right.... But for the price, I'll cook with Royal Oak all day long and I don't even care if there is some rocks/kiln brick in the bag.... Take it out and keep going.

I prefer the B&B char-logs. Burn well and seem to last a long time. I use them as a base in my smoker. Only problem is they are hard to find in my area. Always are sold out. Not sure if that is a supply issue or they are just really popular.
