• Good briquettes are important for low and slow - you can get consistent thermal mass which makes each cook more predictable. For briquettes Weber, there is also a coconut husk based one from Oz which is great, super hot and super long burn time. But they are so different from the Weber in terms of heat profile that I could only use them for grilling.

    If you want sustainably sourced stuff, the Oxford Charcoal Company does great, great, great lumpwood stuff.

    None of those recommendations meets any of your criteria (standard, widely available, not briquettes) but you know that is how this place works.
