So, no carbon monoxide like with regular charcoals?

They do give off monoxide but nothing compared to instant lights. They also make the smoke better because you don't get the taste of the coal and last much longer.
1034294
Yeah. So it doesn't lite as easy as the others. Since I got that charcoal I haven't smoked my hooka since.? Stick to the others.

Not 100% if they are monoxide FREE, but they absolutely do burn SO much cleaner than quick lights. I love these for my kloud lotus, but I prefer the Fantasia's natural coals when using foil.

Right. It's just pure coconut shell charcoal. Nothing you have to worry about

I use a charcoal chimney to light natural charcoal. Be sure that charcoal is well lit.

Yes. While it can produce carbon monoxide, the primary reaction is carbon dioxide and water vapor (just like propane and "natural gas"). We have CO alarms in the house and I've never triggered one. If your house is VERY tightly sealed, like SUPER sealed, you might want to open a window but it's more about venting the vapor and letting in some fresh O2

No,just gaps near the handles that let you put charcoal in. No moving parts.

We own a Big Green Egg grill. You always fill this grill the same amount no matter if you are slow cooking at 150 degrees or cooking a steak at 700 degrees. The difference for this type of grill is how much air is getting into and leaving. I have never used lump charcoal in a standard weber grill, but know people who do. While I would like to help, I do not wish to pretend I know the answer. I'm sure you could find this information through a grilling forum or on google. Good luck. A major reason we also use this charcoal is the fact there are no chemicals.

Yes. The grill uses only a small amount of charcoal and most just burns down to ashes. You can also put a sheet of aluminium foil on the bottom of the grill and fold up the ashes once cool. I have not found this to be a problem. I think it is a great product.

no. the actual cooking is done with charcoal. you're only using propane to start the charcoal.

so get one that's vented to avoid the carbon monoxide, I didn't know I thought vent less meant that build up would not happen??

I will leave the charcoal in the baskets. If I don't want to use baskets I will just pour charcoal onto grate over the igniter to lightthem.

Hello Jerry, You add wood or charcoal the same as a regular BBQ, from the top after removing the grate

If you use larger pieces of good quality charcoal, you should be able to smoke a large piece of meat without adding more charcoal. I have smoked for 15 hrs on one load of coal. Remember to only light your coals on the top of your pyramid and once the smoke is clear, shut your vents and coast to your temperature. As far as I know the only way to add coals is to remove the center grate but you should not need to. Good Luck

Yes, I am using my logs in an outdoor fire pit fueled by natural gas. I get no fumes or smoke. I love them

I would not call them completely smokeless, but the do burn cleanly and have no noticeable odor. Two of them starts a pretty good amount of charcoal.

It's great. It's the normal charcoal that you know, but the fact that it's sourced from hardwood is better for the environment and (I believe) can burn hotter/longer. (Mine is a Weber Performer grill.)

I dearly love my grill and don't notice a strong charcoal taste. I use lump charcoal from natural wood that has not been processed. Another option if you have access to wood from fruit or nut trees i.e., hickory, pecan, apple, oak is go. Pine, fir etc. are not good etc. gives grilled foods a nice taste. Other woods, you might want check to make sure they are not toxic

No, I use charcoal and then add hardwood "chunks" (not chips) that I purchase from a Walmart and they really add to the flavor of the meat I smoke in my Dyna-Glo. Just be sure and soak them in water for a couple of hours before you get started. That way they will smolder rather than burn up. You can get hickory, mesquite, cherry, apple, and other hardwood chunks for different flavors.

Nope. No holes in bottom. Reduces ignition chances. I get about 45 min of smoke using in charcoal applications.
