Overview
Backyard kettle grills, tailgates and campsite fires are where these mesquite briquettes do their work. Each one carries its own measure of lighter fluid and grooved edges, so a match gets the pile going.
Skipping the fluid bottle and chimney makes for a fast start with a mesquite smoke note. The bag is small, and pre-treated charcoal does not suit cooks who want plain lump or untreated briquettes.
Who it's for
Weekend cookouts and away games call for speed, and these briquettes cut the wait. Smokers running long, low cooks or purists who want untreated fuel should choose plain charcoal.
Pros and cons
- Lights with just a match
- No separate lighter fluid needed
- Mesquite flavor for meats and vegetables
- Sure Fire grooves speed lighting
- Pre-treated with lighter fluid
- Small bag covers about two uses
- Burn time not listed
Performance notes
Lighter fluid built into each briquette and extra grooved edges let flame spread quickly through the pile. Mesquite wood in the mix adds smoke flavor, while the bag size limits how many cooks it covers.
