Jealous Devil Max XL 20 lbs - All Natural Hardwood Charcoal Pillow Briquets

These briquettes are huge. They light up easily, put off no foul fumes or smoke, and cook hot and consistent. If you've written off briquettes in favor of lump, give this one a try.

As a long-time enthusiast of Jealous Devil Charcoal, I was eager to try their Max XL Charcoal Briquets, and they did not disappoint. We primarily use a 22" Weber kettle grill for our grilling and smoking adventures, which means we rely on consistent heat and temperature control. These briquets proved to be a game-changer for us. While we have always been fans of Jealous Devil's lump charcoal, the briquettes offered a level of predictability that made temperature control a breeze. Whether we were grilling burgers, slow-smoking a pork shoulder, or doing a shorter smoke with ribs, the results were consistently outstanding, as expected when using Jealous Devil products. One of the standout features of Max XL Charcoal Briquets is their extra-large size, which not only contributes to longer burn times but also reduces the need for frequent refueling. This is particularly valuable for at-home and amateur smokers like us, where maintaining a steady temperature can be a learning curve. Furthermore, the absence of additives or chemicals in these briquets, apart from a touch of vegetable starch as a binder, aligns perfectly with our preference for natural and pure charcoal. It's a breath of fresh air in a market often filled with briquettes loaded with undesirable additives. Max XL Charcoal Briquets come in a resealable box with gorgeous packaging, adding a touch of convenience and style to the overall package. In summary, if you're looking for briquettes that deliver excellent performance, consistent temperature control, and exceptional flavor enhancement while staying true to natural and chemical-free qualities, Max XL Charcoal Briquets by Jealous Devil should be your top choice. We'll certainly be keeping these on hand for our future grilling and smoking adventures.
