Tips for using briquettes:
Lighting: Use a chimney starter or newspaper to help light briquettes, as they can be challenging to ignite due to their density.
Monitor temperature: Keep an eye on the temperature when using briquettes, as they can produce high heat quickly.
Store properly: Store briquettes in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption and maintain their quality.
Benefits:
- Convenience: Briquettes are easy to handle and store due to their compact size and shape.
- Consistent burn: Briquettes burn consistently and evenly, providing a predictable heat output.
- Easy to light: Briquettes are designed to be easy to light, with many having a special coating or additive to aid in ignition.
- Longer burn time: Briquettes can have a longer burn time compared to loose charcoal, often up to 4-6 hours.
- Less ash: Briquettes produce less ash than loose charcoal, making cleanup easier.
