boulderkid303 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hey everyone-So I got these coals, and they seem to be worse than the china knockoff's. They ash 100% black and they only last for 20mins or so. They crumble apart sometimes, and they are not worth 16$ plus shipping. Fucking awful!

cymptom Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Why do you mention the black ash as though it's a bad thing? According to Mr. T, the blacker the ash, the less sulfur in the coal. It's been my experience that coals with white, dense ash affect the taste of the smoke much more. The chinese knockoffs taste awful. They ARE a lot of money... and honestly, I can't tell if they affect the taste of the smoke any less than my 3 kings do, but there may be reason to believe that they are less harmful to inhale.... MAY be. The best part about them is that they burn at the perfect temperature for Tangiers and they have a great shape for managing heat. I don't find that they last as long as some people say, but they definitely last longer than 20 minutes (30 at least...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the knock offs burn WAY to hot and tastes awful. Edited February 10, 2008 by racemyghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JillyIsJustKidding Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hehe dats why I hate these coals. My friend lent me some bars to try out since I was curious about them. Even tho they are red hot, they go back to black and they ASH black. They break easily like crazy and I have to scrape off the paint. Eh the knock offs are way better. Even if I let them sit for a fit minutes, they don't become red hot. They stay black :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 black is better in this sense.i love these coals, just wish they stayed hot longer, i just use a heat shield and it seems to work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
