I am replacing the briquettes in my outdoor propane grill. The old ones
looked like they were volcanic rock.

We bought some replacement briquettes that don't look so good. They
look like poured or molded concrete. They are not very uniform. The
edges are crumbly and some of them are broken into pieces. They came 60
in a bag for $7.

What would some more expensive ones be like?
Would they break easily and fall apart?
Would they last longer or have other advantages over these cheap ones we
bought?
How much should I be paying for some good ones?

So? Try them They act as heat diffusers and trap dripping. they will
still work.

Just buy a new grill that does not use rocks. Get a www.napoleongrills.com
and be done with it.

Those look kind of wimpy... I don't think they would survive a tornado... I
designed my grill area so that even if my house is no longer standing, my
grill will still be there... Gotta have your priorities, ya' know...

My last grill (the one someone stole) used metal grids. I liked them
best. I don't grill for looks, but for taste, so who cares what they look
like. As long as they do the job (provide a hot surface to burn the fat and
create that barbecue flavor.)?

I use volcanic rock in my grill, actually from the PNW volcano! Picked up
enough to keep me grilling for years.
