Good Things Take Time

 

Our Charcoal Briquettes are solid and dense, so it can take longer to light, depending on your set up. Once ready, it burns hotter for a long time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are Charcoal Briquettes difficult to light?

Compressed briquettes take slightly longer to light than lump charcoal, but provide longer-lasting heat. Use suitable firestarters and ensure good airflow.

2. Does it produce smoke or flames?

A little bit of smoke is normal during lighting. Once fully ignited, it gives off steady high heat. It is normal for oil drippings from food to produce smoke or flames.

3. How long does it burn?

Burn time depends on airflow, grill type, and charcoal quantity. Our charcoal briquettes provide reliable heat for everyday grilling and restaurant use.

4. Can I use it with different grills?

Yes, it is suitable for charcoal grills, barbecue pits, and many types of restaurant and food stall grills. Always use it in a well ventilated area.

Bonus Tip

Can I reuse leftover charcoal?

Don't throw away unused / partially burnt charcoal. You can use it again for your next BBQ.
Close the grill lid / air vents fully to remove air access. Let the charcoal cool completely, then keep it in a dry place.
Next time, you can light it up for use again.
