Cheap and available almost everywhere, which counts for something on a Saturday afternoon. Quality is inconsistent bag to bag, piece size swings wildly, and you will find the occasional scrap of milled timber. Fine for hot fast grilling where you are burning through it anyway; not what you want under a twelve hour brisket.
