Amazing Product!
“I smoke whole 30 lb piglets, 13–15 lb 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 product does the trick.”

“They are wonderfully predictable. In a large ceramic cooker...four of them with a few wood logs will maintain for 15 hours.”

“By far the best option I've found for cooking on my Kamado Joe, particularly for anything requiring a lengthy cooking time… I also love Charblox for achieving high temps.”
Terri · Verified purchaser · Costco
“Once it's going, it lasts a LONG time… Once you are done cooking you can put the coals in an airtight container to extinguish and use again. I've been able to use the same charcoal 7×.”
Aiden · Verified purchaser · Costco
“Clean, low ash and the sticks catch fire easily and yet burn for 4–5 hours. Perfect for smoking a brisket or pork shoulder… not nearly as frequently as with lump charcoal where it can burn out in way less than an hour.”

“Ok so I have been using the usual charcoal for a while, these are SO MUCH better. If you are unsure about buying these, just do it!”

“My go-to charcoal choice for over 3 years. It’s the best I’ve tried and I love that it’s a sustainable alternative to conventional charcoal… and burns long and hot.”

“Perfect for yakitori style barbecue. It creates a slow burn, and cooks to perfect tenderness. Around 6 pieces was good for eight hungry guests.”
Glenn · Verified purchaser · Costco
“I was able to grill/smoke two racks of ribs with 5 logs (about 3 lb), and a few extra sticks of red oak. They burned for a long time and gave off excellent heat.”

“Once they're lit, they burn for a long time with virtually no smoke.”
Stepbad · Verified purchaser · Costco
“Worked great for smoking beef ribs. Burned hot and slow in offset smoker.”

“I use in combination w Kingsford, centered in chimney. Makes a good steady hot bed for starting and keeping wood going in my offset smoker.”
Verified purchaser · Costco
“I bought these last year and the box lasted all summer, so buying it again. does take time to heat up, but lasts way longer, less fumes…”
Alex · Verified purchaser · Costco
“Takes an extraordinary amount of time to catch fire. Once they're “glowing” they last a long time. The trick is to be patient. The CharBlox are great for camping and small grills.”
Computercats · Verified purchaser · Costco
“I got this product and I would say it's a vastly better product than Kingsford… It's also compact so for a bbq at the beach or anywhere you need to drive to it makes sense.”
