Briquette characteristics

Briquettes usually have a longer burn time than lump wood options, and they mostly burn with cooler heat. This makes them ideal for indirect “low and slow” cooking, or closed appliance barbecues, where the extra time and cooler temperatures come into their own. Briquettes also make temperature control easier. Their consistent shape makes them easy to work with and to build the precise fire that you need.

However, briquettes often take longer to light than lump wood alternatives. Plus, if you’ve chosen one with a starch binder, this can give off a noticeable smell. 100% natural compressed briquettes are a great way to avoid this, but you may find them more difficult to get started.

Briquette shapes

Briquettes come in a range of different shapes, and these have an effect on the burning characteristics of the charcoal. Pillow shaped briquettes are very common. These are great for building zoned fires for indirect cooking. They pile well and create compressed areas of heat within your barbecue.

If you’re looking to fill a larger barbecue, or need serious performance over a long low and slow cook, try our top-quality products. They’re compressed into moulded hexagonal tubes, each with a central hole with aids air flow. This creates a high quality briquette that burns evenly across your barbecue, without creating tricky to manage hot or cold spots.
