Used once so far worked well.

Burned too fast. From lighting to ash in less than 90 minutes.

I don't know what people use these for. I myself was looking for something to help keep me warm... I'm 48 and never, been warm one fall winter or spring in my life. I like candles in the winter because they add heat .. but I'm still always cold... These little things, on a 4 inch clay pot saucer with the pot turned over it... Are the first time, my toes haven't been cold... In years... Can I say thank you. I do believe it will make it possible for me to move in the winter. The heat is correct as well, soothes all my injured bones that cause arthritis pain... Thank you... A good three hours of healthy heat and two hours of reducing .. but magic to my bones. Thank you.

I couldn’t find my Acacia wood char wood and I’ve used this stuff before … aaaannndd it was on sale so I got some more of this olive tree char wood. It’s not as good as the other stuff because it burns at a lower temperature and doesn’t last nearly as long. It doesn’t impart an odd flavors and I do like using this stuff to smoke, but I don’t prefer it.

This charcoal is ok. I’m a dedicated “griller” and grill all year long; running through a lot of wood and charcoal. The flavor is decent, had low level of smoke, decent heat and not a lot of flare ups. You also get peace of mind with it being organic. The only negative was that it didn’t last as long as I assumed it would. Yes, it may produce “heat” for a long time, but the question is … how much of that time is usable heat? I used it in an open portable grill which allowed for more unrestricted air flow which may have contributed to the faster burn time. Therefore, you may get a better burn time when used inside a closed grill/smoker.
