    Perfect charcoal

    I have tried many different charcoal types, and this one was really good: very little smoke, has a good smell and gets fairly hot. I haven’t timed how long it burns, but I assume it’s similar to the average charcoal. Good chunks (largest ones are size of an apple) but also smaller pieces. However definitely better than the standard charcoal from the supermarket or DYI store.

    Acrid smoke ruins food

    This charcoal is not fully “carbon” and continues to emit an acrid smoke and smell well into the burning process. This makes it unsuitable for cooking roasts or slow cooks where you are trying to control the temperatures as you have to let the charcoal ALL burn well before you start cooking and you can’t add any fresh in during the cook. Ruined two roasts. The charcoal is clearly not fully “cured“ as many pieces are still brown in appearance and some when broken are actually woody. I have included a couple of pictures here of what came out the top of the bag but these are far from the worst. On the positive side, really good size lumps.

  • Very poor charcoal - very difficult to start and to sustain heat

    I tried this on 2 separate bbqs simultaneously. I started one batch with lighter gel in a pile. To maintain the flame I had to continously add gel, as the flames died down as soon as the gel burnt out. I tried this for 1/2 hr and when the coals were white started the food - within 20 min there was hardly any heat. I started the second batch in a weber can style starter with paper on the bottom. I had to repeatedly add gel for 30 min after which I got a very good flame. After cooking for 30 min the heat level was very low. Next day I could see that the majority of the lumps were only 25% consumed. Usually they burn out almost completely overnight. When I tried fanning during cooking I had to stop to avoid the food being covered with ash. I am a seasoned (35 yrs +) bbq'er and have rarely had charcoal as bad as this. I bought 2 12kg bags and will try and return as it was not fit for purpose.

  • Likely to buy it again

    Pleased with this charcoal. Little smoke, good sized lumps, burns very hot. not cheap but worth it.

  • Good stuff

    I bbq a lot and buying stuff like this works out cheaper per kg than supermarket stuff, plus it lasts longer and you need less, so good all round. This is possibly the best I have tried, it chucks out a lot of heat is in nice big chunks and burns for a long time. Only issue is that occasional lumps seem to spit out a lot of 'sparks'. Annoying, but nothing serious. Will be ordering more soon.

  • Restaurant grade charcoal

    Have previously purchased this and was impressed with the heat and length of time it stayed hot. This batch seems to be much smaller chunks and does not last very long after it gets up to heat. I have had to top up bbq with more charcoal when I've been using to cook larger amounts of food or when cooking low and slow. I haven't opened the second bag yet so I can't comment fully as this may just have been a bad bag. Still better value than rubbish from local shops so will definitely buy another batch when needed and see what that is like

  • Best coal ever used!

    There are pretty much tree trunks in on the bag which is exactly what I have been looking for. Holds heat for a very long time. Will not buy supermarket stuff again. However, it doesn't seem to have a lot in there for a 12kg bag. But probably due to monster pieces!!

  • Huge bags of small lumps & sticks

    The bags are huge and heavy so no complaint there. However, the first of two bags I ordered has a large amount of what can only be described as sticks and small bits of charcoal, rather than the large lumps of charcoal I had hoped for. Haven't opened the second bags yet, maybe that will be better.

  • Really poot charcoal, i didnt realise the difference in quality. This takes ages to start burning and when it does it doesn't last long at all

    I would say this is cheap charcoal, that takes a long time to get going and when it does it doesn't last long or seem to get as hot as so.e other restaurant grade charcoal. Don't know why I tried to save some money it's really poor. Do your yourself a favour and buy better quality this is not good at all and now I ahvent two bags of it.
