Stock Up: B&B Competition Oak Charcoal Briquets Drop to $10 at Walmart
If you take your backyard cookouts seriously, this one’s worth a click. Walmart has the 17.6-lb B&B Charcoal Competition Oak Briquets on sale for $9.97 right now — and shipping is free if you’re a Walmart+ member or your cart hits $35.
That’s a genuinely good price on a premium charcoal brand that doesn’t cut corners.
Why B&B Charcoal Stands Out
Not all charcoal briquets are created equal. B&B is a Texas-born brand with a reputation among serious pitmasters for clean-burning, real hardwood charcoal. The Competition Oak Briquets are made from oak — a classic Southern BBQ wood that delivers a mild, versatile smoke flavor that works across everything from brisket to burgers.
For a bag this size at under $10, you’re not paying the premium-brand markup you’d expect. That makes this a genuine deal, not just a discount on something you’d never buy otherwise.
Who Should Grab This
- Southern BBQ households who go through charcoal fast during summer cookout season and want to keep quality up without spending big
- Competition-style backyard cooks who want a cleaner burn and more consistent heat than bargain briquets deliver
- Walmart+ subscribers who can stack free shipping on top of the sale price and make this an easy, no-hassle restock
- Anyone planning a Fourth of July cookout who wants to shop early before prices creep back up
At 17.6 lbs, this is a solid haul for a few weekend cookouts — not so much that storage becomes a headache.
Free Shipping, No Hoop-Jumping
Shipping is free two ways: with a Walmart+ membership (a free trial is available if you haven’t tried it yet [AFFILIATE:walmart_plus]) or by rounding out your cart to $35+. If you’re already stocking up on grilling supplies — paper towels, aluminum foil, disposable pans — hitting $35 shouldn’t be a stretch.
Any Caveats?
A couple of things worth knowing:
- Stock and pricing can change quickly on Walmart deals like this. The $9.97 price was spotted on June 12, 2026 — if you’re reading this a few days later, verify the price before adding to cart.
- Charcoal ships heavy, so if free shipping isn’t available to your address, the math changes. Check your order total before checkout.
- This is a one-bag deal. If you want to stock up for the whole summer, you’d need to order multiples — which, at this price, isn’t a bad idea while it lasts.
Bottom Line
Premium oak competition charcoal at $10 a bag is the kind of find that seasoned deal-hunters share in group chats. If you grill with charcoal regularly, this is an easy stock-up moment heading into peak summer season.
Check the current price and grab a bag (or two) at Walmart before this one disappears. [AFFILIATE:walmart]
