5 Tips for Better Grilling with B & B Charcoal 1. Not all charcoal is created equal. Start by choosing the right fuel. Different charcoal burns at different temps and durations. Choosing the right charcoal for your grill is the first step. Most grill manufacturers will recommend briquettes, lump charcoal, or even wood logs to burn evenly while cooking. Make sure you start with what is best for the grill and your desired temp before you begin cooking. By default, go with Oak Lump Charcoal for most grills.

Furniture, Home Goods Soared in 2020, Spurred by Pandemic ‘At-Home’ Lifestyle
2020 was a banner year for the furniture and home goods market, with millions of consumers quarantined in their homes for work and school. The pandemic “at-home” lifestyle highlighted the importance of investing in home decor, with nearly 60 percent of Americans redecorating their homes with products that made them comfortable and functional, according to a new nationwide survey by mobile resale marketer OfferUp. Furniture that put the focus on relaxing, such as beds, sofas, rugs, lamps and pillows, were most popular, according to the survey. However, much of that boon was on the resale market, with a $27 billion shift from retail to resale, according to the company. Resale marketplaces were the fastest-growing retail channel for home products such as desks, exercise equipment and electronics, the survey showed. More than a third of Americans bought home products in 2020 on resale apps, saving $400 on average compared to traditional retail costs, OfferUp said. As retail stores were forced to close during the pandemic and in-store supplies ran low, Americans turned to online resale marketplaces, the company said. Furniture and home goods recommerce grew by 17 percent in 2020 and is expected to become a $23.6 million market by 2025, the company said in a press release. Two-thirds of American homes have home goods and furniture bought through resale, the company estimated. The pandemic also forced more than 10 percent of Americans to move, the company said, with 40 percent of them choosing more spacious homes and bringing the necessity to buy more furniture. The two rooms most closely associated with relaxing were the most redecorated – the bedroom, 36 percent, and living room, 35 percent, the survey showed. Continued on Page 9
