Stay with the original plus fluid

Does not stay lit. Even with lighter fluid that you are not suppose to need. Had some regular coals i had to add and restart.

Chemical Taste

My family and I thought this had a chemical taste. I use the charcoal in my Masterbuilt Gravity grill/smoker.

My favorite “Quick” charcoal!

This is what I use when I don’t want to “build” a fire with lump charcoal. It lights fast and works great. Does a great job and is a real time saver.

Awful!

God awful! Don't waste you time or money! Use normal charcoal and lighter fluid. This product is an absolute joke!

So easy to use!

We used it while camping and it was so easy to use! Just used a match to light and it worked amazingly!

Old barbecue bricks

I think they were old and dried out I had to use lighter fluid with them they would not light on their own.

Not as easy as hoped

Not as easy to light as I was hoping. I'll probably buy the regular charcoals + lighter fluid next time.

Fire purchase

Best bang for our buck. Especially when you expect many bbqs. The money we save on buying in bulk at Sam's is well worth the membership.

Charcoal

Worked great lit with no problems but burned really high for a while before I could put my food on the grill

Good Deal

At the time of purchase we paid $19. That was a great price. At other stores you pay a little under that for one bag.
