10LB Dragon Fire Bamboo Charcoal Logs - 100% Natural, Lasts 6 Hours, Sustainable, Grilling/BBQ/Big Green Egg/Kamado/Ceramic Grill/Kettle Grill/Tandoor/Robata, Thai/Binchotan Alternative

If you are unsure about buying these, just do it. I bought these and do not regret it one bit. These will burn for a long time. Some were broken, which was fine. I used those when making the foods that do not take as long to smoke. I used the full ones for smoking a brisket, which takes like 10hours. I use these with a combination of wood chunks and my food came out amazing. The logs burn for a long time. Worth every penny. Will definitely buy these again.

Pros:They burn very long with very good heat. The consistency in the sticks made it relatively easy to maintain an even heat in a Weber smoker. Did a brisket that took 18 hours. Managed to hold the temperature steady throughout the process.Cons:Took a long time to get ready for cooking. Took a long time to heat. Also had a little challenge with how to pile them in such a way to make sure the chunks burn completely. I did have to move them around every once in a while as some sticks were going out after half burned off.Overall, this is a good product. Burns long and produces a very even heat. With practice I am sure I could learn to work with it.

This charcoal takes a while to get going. Once you get it out of the chimney you're gonna want to stack it up and let sit a while more. If you have a fan or a fukidake ( tube for blowing on fires ) get some air in it.Once you are done cooking you can put the coals in a airtight container to extinguish and use again. It lasts a LONG time. The partly burned charcoal is easier to start, so I like to put in the bottom of the chimney with new charcoal on top, and put it inside the stack when waiting for the coals to heat up.Overall, it's basically the same as Pok Pok.

I was excited to try out the CHARBLOX Dragon Fire Bamboo Grilling Charcoal Logs for my Yakitori grilling, but unfortunately, they fell short in several aspects. Compared to my usual Thaan Thai Style Charcoal, these bamboo logs were harder to ignite and get burning. Half the box also arrived broken (shattered logs are a bit annoying to use for yakitori), which was disappointing and something I had never experienced with my usual charcoal brand.I had hoped that the bamboo variety would add a unique flavor to my grilling, but I found that it tasted similar to other compressed wood charcoals I have used in the past. Overall, did not meet the standards set by other charcoal brands in terms of ease of use, price, and flavor.

Unfortunately I have to write you this review. I was very unsatisfied with my purchase. I received my package last week and was looking forward to using/burning it on the wknd. Saturday morning when I opened it to get the smoker going. I opened up a box of all broken up pieces not one block was a full solid form all pieces were less then two inches. I tried using them and just could not get them to burn evenly throughout. Overall I was unsatisfied with this broken up box.

Don't waste your money on this charcoal for grilling a hamburger, chicken or steak -- for that you will be very happy with lump charcoal. Charblox is for long, slow smoking. It is clean, low ash and the sticks of this charcoal catch fire easily and yet burn for 4 - 5 hours. Perfect for smoking a brisket or pork shoulder. Of course 4-5 hours isn't long enough for smoking such meats, you would have to add more Charblox after about 4 hours, but not nearly as frequently as with lump charcoal where it can burn out in way less than an hour.

I bought this and the Thaan brand and noticed the difference. This one isn’t as uniform and also 1/4 of the pieces were broken. It’s not as dense. It does work but burns faster. Would not recommend it. It’s a shame since The prices is really though.

I have a Lang 36" Hybrid Deluxe Patio Smoker. I smoke whole 30lb piglets, 13 - 15lb briskets, or 7 racks of baby backs in one go. I may need to maintain 215 - 225 temps for upwards of 7 to 10 hours. This means I need a reliable product that heats up and creates a good bed of coals to maintain a consistent temperature for long periods. The coals need to be able to light up new logs as I add them to maintain the temperature. This product does the trick. It is a quality charcoal.
