Overview

A weeknight griller or weekend host gets natural charcoal briquettes shaped with Sure Fire Grooves for quick ignition. They are made in the USA with North American ingredients and sold by the bag.

Familiar briquettes that the seller says are ready in about fifteen minutes and burn hotter make them a straightforward fuel for steaks, burgers and vegetables. The limitation is the lack of burn time or heat figures, and the listed weights differ slightly.

Who it's for

Backyard cooks who grill steaks, burgers and vegetables on a charcoal or barbecue grill will use these briquettes. People who want a match-light product, a lump fuel or published burn time should look at other charcoal.
