1 x 4kg Bag - Long Burn BBQ Charcoal Briquettes, Use for Charcoal Barbecues and Smokers. Natural and Sustainable, Quick Lighting and Long Burn Time

This is the 2nd time of purchasing this coal and I find it easy to light, very good quality, they don't let off too much smoke like some I've tried and they don't have any smell to them. They are ready to use for cooking on in 30 minutes and lasts for just over 3 hours which is good for us when we have a bbq as we don't go over the 3 hours. Highly recommend these coals for bbqing on.

I recently purchased the Long Burn BBQ Charcoal Briquettes and have been extremely satisfied with their performance. The briquettes are natural and sustainable, which is important to me when it comes to grilling. They light easily and have a long burn time, which makes them perfect for long BBQ sessions. The briquettes are also evenly sized, which makes it easy to create an even heat on the grill. Overall, I am very happy with the Long Burn BBQ Charcoal Briquettes and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of high-quality charcoal for their BBQ.

Disclaimer: I have never tried Green Olive's really fancy charcoal. I've tried numerous cheap disposable barbecues, a few automatic-light bags, and the Green Olive cheapest option (it's called "Garden Grill"). This is far and away the best. The Garden Grill wouldn't even light properly when I used my Weber chimney (I think partly because all the odd different sizes meant there weren't many gaps for air to get in), and gave a weak and short-lived burn. This charcoal (only about £4 more expensive) does what it says on the tin: gives a long enough, hot enough burn. If your BBQ base is a long way from the grill, I recommend bulking it out with something to move the coals a bit nearer (I use firewood). But after doing that, one medium sized chimney-full in my little travel BBQ (13 inches long) gave me 40 minutes of proper cooking heat, and I was still able to boil a pot of water from cold afterwards. Not the 2 or 3 hours advertised on the pack, but long enough to feed six people comfortably. I might try the 'professional' charcoal at some point, but right now this is my go-to.

Bricketts reasonable size but very poor value for money and very movable price. Will avoid next time.

Great

Most important no nasty fuel taste to the food. Burnt evenly and lasted for ages, long enough to cater for a large party this weekend! Will definitely buy again

Having used Weber briquettes for years for smoking I thought I would give something else a try. After lots of research I landed on these. I wish I had stuck with the Weber briquettes. These were very small and did not have a long burn time. I used about a third more when smoking compared to the Weber ones. There were lots of tiny broken bits in the bad as well. I had 4 bags of this stuff and all were the same. Update I have used more of this stuff and it isn't great. Burn time is very poor. Stated time is 3 hours but I often saw no longer than 90 mins. I won't be buying again.

Fair price for delivered item, seemed to smoke alot on lighting in BBQ starter. I honestly didn't think it lasted longer than any other supermarket briquettes though.
