I just bought a 2 pack because the ''experts'' on FB sais it was junk or shitty. Did a controlled test in a JJ with a extension(Da Boner) no food. KB snake 1/4 the way around 2x1 with 8 started in chimney.    Edited, 1st test is Kingsford Blue

Conclusion,royal oak started quicker in the chimney and I think it burned hotter for using 1/3 less charcoal. We will see how it works when cooking. Not junk or shitty imo because I got a 2 pack for $7.99.

Thanks for the detailed experimental notes. I'm interested in learning more about the starter fuel you show there. It appears to be a bag on which you stack your charcoal to be lit.  thanks!  HD
