MrMoodz Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Glad to hear it! So are they worth checking out in your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bye bye now have fun Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 they dont last as long as cocos or johns but if you break it into quarters its 300 which is a tad over 2.25 times the coals for just under the price of 1 box of johns coals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up an 18lb box on amazon to try out, that and a cheap notebook or something to put me over the $25 mark for free shipping. I'll be reviewing the suckers as well once they come in.

Bye bye now have fun Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 i just smoked 4 hours on a small phunnel of peach af and going on 2.5 on esk apple and cinnomon. the problem is getting same size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 i tried these out today and last night. IMO they suck and are worth a fuckle; i might try again. they don't seem to nearly get hot enough to smoke well. i had one piece broken up into quarters and i was BARELY getting my nak strawberry to smoke as in it was puny shitty smoke. i threw them out and put on four pieces of cocos and the clouds were grand, as per the usual....i guess they'll take some more tinkering....

Bye bye now have fun Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 if you get 2 flat sides on a coal you are money. if you put it on a curved side the smoke sucks. last night me and a friend smoked 4 hours with 3 set on a small moded bowl of af peach and then 2 more on esk+cinnamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoke eater Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well this looked too good, so I went for an 18 pounder and some guitar picks, on Amazon. Gotta wait 2 to 4 weeks for delivery. Hope my Exoticas last that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKammenzind Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Heh, 18lbs was $26 or so shipped so I scooped it up, got a little notebook or something to boost it over $25. Smoke eater you may be pleasantly surprised, it only took around a week to ship for us. Pics/review coming when my friend puts them on the comp and sends 'em to me...

sandsk8erz400 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Any update on these? They seem to be a little hit or miss with people. That or they require a little finesse to get them to work right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're every bit as easy to use as other coals, you just gotta chop em in quarters... and if that poses a problem, there's something seriously wrong with ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoke eater Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hey Charley thanks for being the pioneer and posting on these.I finally received my 18#s yesterday. Man these are nice! Great coals, looks like a supply to last a while.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
