Stays evenly lit and hot for a long time, wonderful flavor.
This charcoal is AWESOME! I’m an avid griller I would say it’s my passion) and I’ve used so many different charcoals over the last couple of years, from kingsFord instant light, to petrified wood charcoal of various brands and so on, and out of the 10 different brands I’ve tried, this is probably the best one I’ve used. It does require lighter fluid, however it stays lit and holds heat so well. So many times I’ve had charcoal that won’t stay lit or get nice bright red and ashy even after dumping lighter fluid all over it, but these brickettes retain their heat well and stay evenly lit and bright red for a couple of hours so they won’t go cold halfway through grilling your steaks. The flavor this charcoal gives to whatever you’re grilling is also outstanding. Tonight I made some of the best burgers I’ve probably ever made, and it really gave them the flavor Im always chasing after, every time I grill. I don’t normally leave reviews but this product is too good people gotta know about it! If you’re looking for great quality charcoal that stays evenly lit, has even hot heat, and gives beautiful flavor to your food, look no further. I can honestly say I think I’ll be buying this from now on.
