Campingaz 63633 Ceramic Briquettes Pack of 40

I've converted my gas BBQ from one south flame deflectors (that can cause horrendous flare-ups) to a flat bed of these briquettes. The cooking experience was far superior to any before the conversion. The family even commented that the taste and eveness of cooking was vastly improved. Highly recommended.

I decided to convert my messy gas only BBQ to duel fuel. This has the bonus of meat juices and fats evaporating off the ceramic briquettes rather than filling the drip/catch tray. Although more expensive than standard briquettes, the ceramic type have a much longer lifespan so are actually more cost effective if you use your BBQ often. I had to search around for a useable/functional grill to place over the gas burner bars to support the ceramic briquettes, and conquered that hurdle fairly quickly. Order placed and 'Prime' delivery was superfast as always, however I have given only 4 stars as a few of the ceramic briquettes were found to be damaged on delivery and unusable. I beleive this to be due to the way they are packaged and then subjected to man-handling during the various manufacturer to distributor to supplier to customer processes. I have now used the BBQ several times and found the heat distribution to be more even, reducing flash flames to a minimum (almost no skin burnt sausages!!) and better than Lava rock which I have used on other BBQ's in the past. Each briquette is around 2" square so be carefull not to under estimate the amount you will need or you may then be waiting an additional order and delivery. I guessed at two boxes but needed three. Only time will tell how long they last but at this stage I would certainly recommend the Campingaz briquettes. Well thats another BBQ done, now time for a quick clean ready for the next! (see pics)

A great product slightly marred by a few pitted/crumbled briquettes. Briquettes deliver uniform heat and retain heat, allowing further cooking even after gas is turned off.

Having bought Penrocs almost exclusively for many years, I thought I’d branch out and saw these were cheaper and double sided. Am delighted with them so far. Haven’t needed to flip yet, but glad the option is there. Nice even heat, good retention. Will buy again!

Replaced my old 15 year old brickets. Looks nice.

A lot less flare ups,good heat retention, not as aesthetic as lava rock but cooking is so much better. Used on 3 burner gas bbq.. needed 2 packs

Good heat transfer. Cool really quick after use & I put them in dish washer to clean👍

Don’t like them. I only had enough for one side of my 3 burner grill so put lava rocks on the other half which I had left over, the ceramic briquettes got much too hot for me compared to the lava rocks at the same setting I had to keep taking the food off and move it to the lava rock side which was keeping the heat just right. Also it still had multiple flare ups when cooking steaks or pork strips or lamb chops etc. Will buy more lava rocks......shame
