Overview
Lighting a charcoal fire without a bottle of fluid is the point of these briquettes. Each briquet is infused with a food-safe lighter fluid that burns off, and grooves add edges so the fire catches from the outside in.
A match and a pile of briquettes get a grill going, which makes this a convenient choice for tailgates and camping. The seller says the fluid burns off completely. The listing gives no burn time, and the bag may look different on arrival.
Who it's for
Casual grillers, campers and tailgaters who want to skip lighter fluid and a chimney will use these briquettes. Smokers and cooks who want to avoid any pre-treated fuel should choose untreated charcoal.
Pros and cons
- Lights with a match alone
- No separate fluid to pack
- Grooves speed up lighting
- Made in the USA
- Pre-treated with lighter fluid
- Burn time not listed
- Package may vary
Performance notes
The fluid in each briquet ignites first and burns off, leaving the charcoal to carry the heat. The top briquettes turn ash-gray once ready, which the seller says takes about ten minutes. The grooves add surface edges for the flame to catch.
