Marienburg Organic Restaurant Grade Lumpwood BBQ Charcoal for Barbecues and Pizza Ovens, 30L

Purchased for family BBQ. This has to be the best charcoal I have ever used. Unlike other charcoal, it burns really well over a long period of time. The heat output was very good and consistent and I was left with a pile of ash, rather than blocks of unburnt charcoal. Intend to only use this going forwards. Very happy with purchase.

Lights very well and has a long burn

This is amongst the worst charcoal I've used and I use a lot. I don't know what it is with UK charcoal but its pretty poor quality compared to what you can get in France. This stuff though not only burns through rapidly which I can handle normally with good heat output but that's pretty shortlived as well. Then there's the Ash it throws up. I bought 4 bags and no difference so I think it's this coal, never had it with any other, it just so much floating Ash that coats your food. Would not recommend and will not buy more of this stuff.

I've moved from supermarket smoking spitting cheap coal to proper charcoal that lights with a sheet of paper and produces no smoke. The problem is this type of charcoal likes to be on an open BBQ and needs a bit of a jiggle to remove and ash and open the coal to fresh air. The charcoal from a local source used sycamore, which is superb if you like to keep moving it about, lots of ash, no smoke and no spitting. I tried alderline, good but the same as the local stuff. Plenty of huge pieces. The marienburg is slightly better than the other two if you use a kettle and cook with the lid on. It doesn't ash up as much. It does however spit a bit more. Not as bad a supermarket stuff though. If cooking with the lid on, a few kicks to the BBQ legs every 10 mins is good enough. Burn time is acceptable and adding more coal during cooking soon add extra hear. It is ready to cook on in 10 minutes or so. This stuff is very light. Ignore any comments about the weight. You get a big bag full. It chinks beautifully when lit. Way better than charcoal briquettes!

This buns way too quickly. Burnt through a whole hopper full in 4hrs so used two full bags in 8hrs. Big k is far superior in-terms of the burn time. Flavour is fine nothing special. Disappointed.

Good quality long lasting big lump charcoal

It's normal lump wood charcoal. It's OK, BUT £17 for 4 KG! It's Expensive!

The item is good. Disappointed with the delivery. I pay for prime, was promised to come yesterday but it came today
