I just used them this weekend. I agree, they take forever to heat up! took solid 25 mins vs usual 15 mins … in saying that, they seemed to burn for bit longer.
I've only ever read bad reviews of these
not a big fan of briquettes …. they are like highly processed cereals, good for a quick fix only if you are hungry. not horrible, but i don't like it.
i use logs almost exclusively.
if you think it takes too long, invest in a chimney starter and a portable electric blower.
My 2 grills are miniature so the smaller size works fine.
I've never looked back since getting one of these https://www.bunnings.com.au/jumbuck-3-7l-bbq-charcoal-starte…
i got this and recently an electric blower, it's like putting everything on a supercharger. my first time using the blower, it got way too hot too fast. lol.
By logs do you mean roboturds or actual wood?
these but different brands https://www.bbqspitrotisseries.com.au/charcoal
also use actual wood, but more for smoking.
not sure what roboturds is because in my mind thats what briquettes is. highly processed.
edit: yeah. i'm not using 'roboturds', that's just briquettes in a different shape not sure why it deserves a different name.
Ah yeah, you mean lump. Lump is good but doesn’t really work for snake/minion methods. Coconut shell briquettes from heat beads go good, burn clean and hot.
@Cheaplikethebird: ah i'm a simple person, I chuck in logs, set them on fire, monitor temps and chuck in more if needed. I probably could find/learn more about the methods.. but that would mean investing time (and sometimes food waste) to experiment.
@OzBragain: oh for sure, I have no doubt it is a beneficial method. I'm just saying I don't do BBQ cooking that often enough (or long enough per session) to require that level of intervention.
Good price but I haven't seen these ones at my local Coles.
Better off burning the bag they come in than these.
These guys lasted way longer than the bag for me.
Did a great job tonight cooking some Scotch Fillets on my Heston Cube.
ive used these before. never again they take forever to heat up and they dont hold heat long. do not reccomend.
