Title: Olive Briq
Post by: MacEggs on June 17, 2017, 07:38:01 AM

Anybody else try this??  I saw it at a local grocery store, so I grabbed it.  Was not cheap ...

Kinda reminded me of Coshell in that they use a waste-product for this briquet.

Looked weird in the chimney.  Definitely had a different odour compared to what I'm used to.

It performed well.  I was able to sift out the cold used stuff and dumped more on top for another cook-up.

That's really interesting. It's better for the environment at least.

What do you suppose those liquid looking bubbles are?

How did the food taste?

I see the same liquid bubbles on red bag Royal Oak Briquettes. Idk what it is but I figure they get hot enough to burn it off.

How was the heat, like ripping hot ?

Did it last a long time?

The food tasted fine.

I lit 40 briquets the first time using them and there was plenty of heat and it has good staying power ....

So far I am impressed, but as mentioned earlier, I don't like the price.
