davew Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Coals tested tonight, with Jerk chicken, pictures next time, see my post for the sauce and ingredients Some coals very light, and some flat, lost of smaller pieces see the above picture To get lite was a bit harder, cheap coals burn easy and fast Head, very different and deceptive, not loads lite but hotter and head in solid, and smoother not aggressive Once lit burns thorough slowly and adds that smokey bbq coals taste if you know what I mean If lids on a lot the coals mellow and soon pick up with the lit off Used the same amount as I normally would, ¾ lite and only half of less burnt Do I use fewer coals next time if spread thinner, test and experiments will tell Food as always was fantastic and in turth exacly the same BBQ and sauce, and the same chicken. New coals and the food tasted better and more evenly cooked if that makes sense Pros: Worth the money, nice burn, adds that take away/restaurant taste Burn slow, constant heat Last a lot longer Cons: Cost double or more that chap coals Not so easy to burn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 These coals are proving good, worth the money and bury even, hot and last In fact not all burns in the time i need cooking say 90 mins and I do not use loads coals Also the taste is better by far than cheap coals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davew Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Used last night, a bit of rain did not dampen me Jerk chicken Coals are good, burn well and last longer than I thought, I guess 3x or 4x as long as the cheap corner shops coals I have been buying for many years Taste from coals is great, much better, nice There clearly is a big difference moving up to better restaurant coals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
