Thaan, Thai-Style Charcoal. 4-6 Hour Burn Time. Restaurant Grade Charcoal. Low Ash, No Smoke, High Heat. Up to 1200 Degrees. Binchotan Quality, Extruded Process. (5, Pounds)

I used this charcoal for my small Japanese BBQ grills that I got from World Market. I was told that these Binchotan-type charcoals worked better than the briquettes I was using before, and it was extremely good advice. You can taste that smoky grilled flavor a lot better than with normal briquettes. I made skewers and grilled up bulgogi using the grill, and it was noticeably tastier.For starting these coals, I recommend getting a chimney starter - this is by far the fastest mechanism from my experience.

These get HOT! Very low smoke but very high heat with is perfect for grilling. A relative of mine accidentally put a little too much logs inside the grill and it was an inferno!The cookout was a huge success though because the flavor mostly comes from the fat and sauce drippings that smoke up after coming in contact with the logs which gave it a delicious smokey taste and at the same time didn't give the nasty burnt smell and bitterness you'd get from Kingsford charcoals.I'm gonna stock on on these for future use, these are pretty water resistant and believe it or not, I was grilling while it was suddenly hailing and pouring rain - the logs still remained extremely hot!It does take a while to get going but it maintains a strong, constant, lasting heat. I pair this up with Kamado Joe's charcoals because they light up fast and heat up these logs nicely.

The charcoal lives up to its reputation for high-quality, clean-burning fuel. I've used it several times now for grilling meats and vegetables, and the results are consistently impressive. It produces very little smoke or ash, which keeps cleanup minimal and makes it ideal for enclosed or urban spaces.

easy to light, worked great, burned hot

I found that these charcoal blocks were not nearly as effective or nice as natural charcoal. Though this would be neater in our small tabletop grill but was disappointed and have migrated back to good old hardwood, natural charcoal (not briquettes).

Great for barbecues. Just wish there were more in the box for the price. Performance is outstanding 👏

I don't know if it was careful delivery or proper storage but a competitive charcoal was ordered and every single charcoal brick/log was broken. Have used this charcoal before, good heat, needed for certain meats and veggies. Thank you again, to both Product and Amazon

Horrible smell and made food smell bad and taste weird. I do not understand why this is restaurant quality. I threw away my steaks due to smell and weird taste. Horrible I should be refunded. I will go with standard coal from now on from corner store.
