The pros:
They light quickly.
Decent burn time.
Fairly minimal ash.
The cons:
Extinguished coals are very fragile and will crumble into dust if not handled very carefully.
Overall, they're good, but I wouldn't call them a wonder briquette, recovering leftover fuel is quite annoying.
I also forgot about this thread.
Used them quite a few times in the last few months & generally agree with the above.
They light so easy - much quicker than other briquettes that I have used.
Burn time is better than all briquettes that I have used apart from Heat Beads, Weber Premium & Cocoshell.
My summary - very good briquette at the price (I paid £10 per 12kg bag) but not in the league burn time wise as either Heat Beads or Weber Premium. My main fuel is Big K restaurant lump but I tend to use briquettes more in the winter. I'll continue to buy these but will also continue with heat beads & weber premium briquettes as well. Their price makes them a nice to have but i would not give up heat beads or weber briquettes for them. Further to that I would love supergrill to bring back the cocoshell briquettes in place of these.
