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?

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.)?

REAL BBQ is cooked over charcoal or wood.
