Pros & Cons
Pros
These original weber ones are far superior to supermarket or petrol station brands. No bits dropping out of torn or holed paper bag. One negative on the packaging.
Best product i've used for a bbq. Low smoke during not too long ignition period. Using these with the chimney/kettle delivers a relatively smoke free long lasting barbecue.
We reckon these are the best briquette on the market. Briquettes are solid and uniform with no broken bits.
Cons
Great coals but disgusting price. These weber briquettess no way last 3 hours, at the most 1. Beware these are very expensive for briquettes.
Highlights

Best long-lasting briquettes, that hold a really good temperature.

They do not produce a lot of smoke, dusty ash plumes, or bad odours, and stay hot for ages whilst you cook.
Price
Bargain buy, easy to use and stay hot for longer

Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness
There is another brand i use which lasts slightly longer than these but based on price per kg these are a decent buy when cooki... Read More
These original weber ones are far superior to supermarket or petrol station brands.
Was sceptical about the difference between coal by brand but these are superb compared to aldis (for example).
They last so much longer than all the others i've tried.
