Nice, dense, jumbo sized briquets. Ready to use in 20-minutes in a chimney starter. Very long burning and no 'foreign' aromas or acrid smoke, low ash residue. This brand is on my personal:"leader board" for briquets. I am slowly getting away from lump charcoal because the bags lately are so beat up that there are less and less large lumps and more and more small, golf-ball sized lumps and dust. The small pieces tend to congregate at the bottom of my chimney starter and choke off the flow of air, prolonging lighting time. Briquets seem to survive shipping and warehousing better than lump charcoal.

These burn great - not quite as cheap as the grocery store, but way better quality - nice clean taste for grilling. They will burn forever too, so give them some air, and keep the party going. I've bought these several times now.

I like this product. I have a homemade smoker and this product was just what I needed to smoke a 12 hour brisket. I was able to maintain a consistent 275° oven during the entire process. I purchased two more bags. This will be my competition charcoal.

I may have received a faulty bag but this was literally the worst charcoal I’ve ever used. Burned super fast, crumbles when you move the coals, not particularly hot either. It simply did not burn well and I’m baffled by the positive reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great all natural Charcoal Briquests with nice heat, low smoke!
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2014
Verified Purchase
Since my preferred briquet vendor stopped selling briquettes (Wicked Good Charcoal, still great lump charcoal!) I've been on the search for a replacement. For some grill cooking I've found that briquettes are just better suited for long simmer type cooking at medium (say under 450F) heat. Problem is others I've tried SMOKE way to much, like burn your eyes and run you out of town while the fire department responds kinda smoke.

Not these, they've got a reasonable amount of ash production (not to much), but most importantly good steady burn with out putting out to much smoke. These I can grill with and not have to put on an filter mask.

I alway enjoy cooking with the hardwood briquettes. Unlike the petroleum based charcoal, the food doesn't taste of crude. The draw back to lump charcoal is that it is irregular. That means pieces fall through the grates and you can loose part of it. Bayou classic gives the best of both worlds
