Professional Briquettes

These briquettes bridge the gap between the convenience of standard charcoal and the high-heat performance of lump wood. They deliver the intense, consistent sear you need for steakhouse-quality results without the unpredictable burn rates or excessive ash that usually come with professional-grade fuel.
