VESP ENERGY Charcoal Briquettes 3kg for Barbecue/Grill/TANDOOR with Fire Starter Cube for Ignition

The media could not be loaded. I have used these quite a few times now, so I thought I would give a detailed review of this product. For review purposes, I have categories them into several subsections.Fire Starter :Free fire works like a charm and give Hussle free ignitionHeat:It is pretty hot and it lasts for about 4 hr. You can easily cook 6-8 Kg of chicken on one go depending on your stove size. When compared, this seems to heat up pretty quickly, and it's much hotter. If there is moderate wind it seems to catch fire, Helps a lot while cooking...Odor:There is no odor when u burn the charcoal, nor does the odor from smoke feel irritating, usually when u burn other charcoals it smells really strong but I didn't feel anything like that with this one.Smoke:It does emit smoke but it's manageable, however, I would like to point out that smoke is much less than what normal charcoals emit. if you are in a good enough open space, it wouldn't be an issue at all.Flavor:It does add flavor to the food, it's a lite smoky flavor like you would expect. I like moderate flavor when I cook, what I did was I closed the lid of the BBQ stove and it seems to have solved my issue. I don't like it when the chicken has a strong smoky smell. When u BBQ the chicken u usually think it would be dry, but I felt it to be rather juicy, I did add oil occasionally.Residue:The best thing about it is, that the amount of ash, once u have completely used up, is way less than the normal charcoal and it's easy to clean.Re-usability:It is reusable, once I'm done with the cooking, I kept them inside my BBQ stove with all air vents closed. The next time I barbecued, I used these along with the new pieces. The reusable once do often crack, sometimes they fall to the ashtray below.Indoor/Outdoor usability.BBQ is meant to used outdoors, all charcoals emit carbon monoxide so I would never recommend it to be used indoors. Since I live in an apartment I usually BBQ in my balcony.Overview:I would say that this is great charcoal for BBQ and is much easier to use. Having a started kit would make your BBQ setup much faster but it's not a must. Overall I would definitely recommend these for BBQ

Not so easy to turn on.... you need to put in the stove to make it burn or it will take to much time and when burns, burns to fast... not really good for BBQ. I would prefer wood coal but looks like is not a kind of material available in India so. this is ok....

Takes lot of time to burn.

If you want your barbeque to flop even after you spend more than an hour trying to light this coal then this is the product for you !!!!! This is a pack of stones not coalI purchased this product for a barbeque. Unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory.The coal I received simply does not light. The product fails to perform its basic function. I'm deeply disappointed with the quality and functionality of this item. The product description is misleading and does not accurately reflect the actual performanceI strongly caution potential buyers against purchasing this product. It does not live up to its advertised functionality, and i am sure there are better alternatives available, that light without struggles of hoursI hope this review helps others make more informed decisions when considering this purchase

I recently purchased this charcoal pack from Amazon, and it exceeded all my expectations! The quality of the charcoal was exceptional – it burned evenly and lasted for a surprisingly long time. We used it for our barbecue, and it provided consistent heat throughout the cooking process, making the experience enjoyable and hassle-free. The flavor it imparted to the food was fantastic as well. This pack is a great value for money, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys barbecuing. I will definitely be purchasing it again for our future gatherings

Used a chimney and the fire starter cube. Had blazing coal within 15 min. Brickets burnt completely for about 2.5 hrs. And truly much less smoke than normal coal. Will definitely buy it again.

The charcoal quality is good and burns well if you use fire lighter cakes. Have used couple of times and no issues so far. Would recommend.

It came in a slightly torn box .We bought this to use on a grill but when we tried lighting the coal it wouldn’t light. We tried for two hours but it didn’t light. Overall I’d say it’s not worth it
