Original 9lb Hexagonal Pack - Prime 6 Premium Charcoal Briquettes

This didn’t look like a whole lot when you get it but it burns soooo hot that you don’t need much to cook with. No additives to this makes it perfect for someone with autoimmune issues that can’t take inflammation with your other common charcoal. This can be used to sear, cook or use indirectly for a slow and low approach. It will burn for 6 hours. It’s kind of hard to light at first but once lit, it’s lit. They say it is comparable to a 30 pound bag, you can believe that. This is a premium charcoal log that burns clean. These logs seem to be for the serious griller. I’m serious about my bbq. I suggest getting a starter to go with your logs to assist in lighting.

we were nervous, but tried this coal anyway. it is nice! first, just know it can be difficult to light, or it did for us. we broke it into smaller pieces and another time we ended up throwing a few wood pieces in to help it get going. we also just lit it as is. it lasts longer, burns nicely, and doesn't leave the mess regular charcoal does. it did have a weird smell to it, maybe it just is different than the regular charcoal and that's it. maybe i'm extra critical as it is a first time for Prime 6 in our bbq. the food did not taste like the smell though. we cooked different things with each use so i can't tell yet the amount to use, but i think that it will be better suited to our needs than the large bags of charcoal we were buying. plus it stows away nicely in the outdoor cabinets.

Love the hexagon shape charcoal Burns along time unlike other Brands. Great for cooking chicken & Brisket ;food that takes a while on grill. No smoke or mess to clean up afterwards . Environmentally friendly & easy to use Will keep using prime 6!

I got this stuff so that I Could use it at the grills that are located Within the state parks. It comes in the perfectly sized bags for traveling. It lights up very easy and you set to have meal in no time.

No smoke and pure hardwood charcoal that burns for a long time makes this perfect for anyone with a charcoal BBQ that wants long slow cooking (turkey, hams, ribs, whole chickens, etc). This 9 lb box of 6" lengths of charcoal is equivalent to 37 lbs of regular charcoal, so it can be cost effective. Each charcoal stick burns for a long time, which lets you forget about having to check your BBQ every hour. I like that it is clean and easy to handle, uniform in size, and easy to light. The box of charcoal is packaged well, and you won't have any waste with small pieces. No chemicals, sustainable, and easy to use.

I was very excited to receive this product. I rather enjoy grilling and was looking forward to trying these out. They are very interesting - the hexagon shape is attractive and also efficient. I enjoy the fact that such a small amount of charcoal will last for so long, making it have approximately a 30lb equivalent per the item details listed in the sale description. There is very little smoke and no-clean-up is just another added benefit. Give them a try!

Never used this type before and was very surprised and pleased. Easy to light in chimney and stayed hot very long. I remember 55 years ago when my dad would bbq, after he would cook the main meal he’d put potatoes on coals to roast for an hour or so and we’d eat them later in their evening. Well now regular coals dont last long at all and these PRIME 6 were perfect. Very long lasting. Hours. My only problem was that they were most broken in pieces. Maybe even better if whole

This charcoal has a unique shape and burn quality. I like to use charcoal to keep my wood burning in my smoker. A single layer of this product is enough to keep the wood going for 2 hours. I don't know how it would work in a grill. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 was because it will take some getting getting used to.

This is a very unique form of "charcoal" that is made from compressed, carbonized sawdust. It's meant to be a more eco-friendly version of the usual briquettes. That's where the cool part ends, at least for someone used to using regular briquettes! It's a bit hard to find the instructions from among all of the other stuff printed on the box, and sure enough, I missed 'em until I'd already started the fire. I did notice a panel suggesting three different fuel-less starting methods, but since I wasn't and never will be interested in waiting an hour to start barbecuing, I tried to light them the same way I'd do any other kind of coals. I sprayed them down with good old-fashioned lighter fluid and flicked my Bic. Fifteen minutes later, I had...nothing. The fire of the fluid had gone out completely and the grill was now cold to the touch. Frustrated, I got out some real charcoal briquettes, threw them in with these, re-sprayed it all, and flicked my Bic again. THEN I had some action. Fifteen minutes after the re-do, the real charcoal was going great guns. Unfortunately, even with all of that heat now present, these Prime 6 sticks were - with the exception of just two of them - still stone out. I would rate this product a zero, but I figure that some people who are used to the "chimney starting method" may have better luck. I have no experience with that, and since regular charcoal has always worked great for me, I wasn't interested in fooling around trying to figure it out now. Speaking of those instructions, they say to break these into 2.5-inch blocks. These come as extremely long, multi-sided sticks. It would be a big hassle to try to break them to that small of a size. The smallest I got one was about 4 inches. Below that, it'd be hard to get the needed leverage. I really find it irksome when a company is too lazy to make its product be the right size, right out of the box.

I waited to review this charcoal product after lighting and cooking process. We tried lighting without charcoal starter Because if it is to be chemical free, it defeats the purpose of lighter fluid. WELL IT DID’NT , ATTEMPT TO LIGHT. Sooo. We doused it with charcoal lighter, waited and it went out. Attempted again And I thought it went out after lighter burned off. ..but when I felt of it, it was hot. Only one brick looked to be charred but they were hot. Remember us old school think it is supposed to smoke like a freight train!! If you had a propane flame to light it on I suppose it would light...or an electric charcoal lighter. But there was still no flame...but some heat.... I will use this to add to my existing fire or use it in My fire pit, but keep purchasing Kingsford or use real wood.
