Grade B comes out of the same kilns as Grade A. The difference is in the sorting: pieces are shorter, some are curved or split, and the size range is wider.
Burn behaviour is close to Grade A. Many restaurants use Grade B as their everyday fuel and keep Grade A for the counter grill guests can see.
