10LB Dragon Fire Bamboo Charcoal Logs - 100% Natural, Lasts 6 Hours, Sustainable, Grilling/BBQ/Big Green Egg/Kamado/Ceramic Grill/Kettle Grill/Tandoor/Robata, Thai/Binchotan Alternative

If you are unsure about buying these, just do it. I bought these and do not regret it one bit. These will burn for a long time. Some were broken, which was fine. I used those when making the foods that do not take as long to smoke. I used the full ones for smoking a brisket, which takes like 10hours. I use these with a combination of wood chunks and my food came out amazing. The logs burn for a long time. Worth every penny. Will definitely buy these again.

This charcoal takes a while to get going. Once you get it out of the chimney you're gonna want to stack it up and let sit a while more. If you have a fan or a fukidake ( tube for blowing on fires ) get some air in it.Once you are done cooking you can put the coals in a airtight container to extinguish and use again. It lasts a LONG time. The partly burned charcoal is easier to start, so I like to put in the bottom of the chimney with new charcoal on top, and put it inside the stack when waiting for the coals to heat up.Overall, it's basically the same as Pok Pok.

Pros:They burn very long with very good heat. The consistency in the sticks made it relatively easy to maintain an even heat in a Weber smoker. Did a brisket that took 18 hours. Managed to hold the temperature steady throughout the process.Cons:Took a long time to get ready for cooking. Took a long time to heat. Also had a little challenge with how to pile them in such a way to make sure the chunks burn completely. I did have to move them around every once in a while as some sticks were going out after half burned off.Overall, this is a good product. Burns long and produces a very even heat. With practice I am sure I could learn to work with it.

These are very hard to start and they get cold very quick with drippings etc. have to constantly fan them.I will not buy again.

Don't waste your money on this charcoal for grilling a hamburger, chicken or steak -- for that you will be very happy with lump charcoal. Charblox is for long, slow smoking. It is clean, low ash and the sticks of this charcoal catch fire easily and yet burn for 4 - 5 hours. Perfect for smoking a brisket or pork shoulder. Of course 4-5 hours isn't long enough for smoking such meats, you would have to add more Charblox after about 4 hours, but not nearly as frequently as with lump charcoal where it can burn out in way less than an hour.

This charcoal did not burn hot enough at all.Food took forever to cook. Even with the charcoal less than a inch from the grill!I will not be recommending this type of charcoal or brand to anyone.Cheap charcoal works better than this.Wasted money.

Exterior and interior boxes were not damaged but all the Charblox logs were.

These are better than any lighter fluid saturated, ready to start briquette. Stuff one in a paper towel roll, surround it by a few more with a little natural fire encouragement, give it 15 minutes and you have a heat that will OUTLAST the usual briquettes you find in grocery stores and hardware stores. No jet fuel taste left on the food. Can spritz with a little water if you finish and still have charcoal to burn and it will re light perfectly next time. WORTH IT!!!!
