Do you have a brand name? Are they in 3 or 4 pieces? Anything in 3 pieces is apparently junk i've been told and the few comparison's i've been able to do bear this out.

jap coals are not quick lights, it's advertising that it lights quicker than other brands?

[nathan_Choi]

Yeah, they light quicker than naturals, but they aren't exactly "quick lights", they don't have that self sustaining starting crap in em.

I'm afraid this is one of those 'pics please' situations. Of the Box and coal would be usefull.

I've used countless boxes of the Japanese easy light coals :-


Without issue. As said by others it does take a little while to actually get going, but probably quicker than naturals.

Leave them on the stove until the whole coal is glowing red.. it probably takes a good 10 minutes. 6 slabs??? like six sticks came in the box? Or the rectanuglar slab breaks into six peieces?

If you wan Jap. Style coals get Easy-Lite or Golden. The only ones that I think are any good.
just make sure to get the silver off before smoking or you will taste it.

Japanese quick-lite coals are the silver square coals. They do not light as quickly as the round quicklight colas whihc can light in little as 30s. The Japanese quicklight take about 2-3 minutes to fully light on the stove. They do not ash as much and last a little longer than the regular quicklight coals. The natural coals usually take about 5-10 minutes on the stove to light and last way longer. Just depends on how much time and patience you have.

I dropped $15 on these, left one on the stove for 15 min, next to my natural coal, and the natural was lit yet this was not.
only tried 2 though. we will see.
