XL Briquets: Why Bigger Is Better for a Lasting Flame

Sometimes, size does matter… especially when it comes to XL briquets! These big, dense pieces of charcoal burn longer, burn steadier, and let you relax while your grill does the heavy lifting. Perfect for long cooks, chilly nights, or feeding a hungry crowd.

If you’ve been avoiding briquets because you thought lump charcoal is “better,” it’s time to rethink your strategy. XL briquets are a true game-changer.


Why XL Briquets Beat the Myths

Many grillers skip briquets, thinking they won’t give the same flavor or control as lump charcoal. Here’s why that’s not true:

  • Consistent Heat – XL briquets burn slowly and steadily, giving you even heat for longer cooks without constant adjustments.

  • Long-Lasting Burn – Less frequent refills mean more time enjoying your BBQ, and less time worrying about the fire dying out.

  • 100% Natural Ingredients – Made from white quebracho wood and cassava starch, no fillers, no chemicals. Clean, reliable fire every time.

  • Easy Handling – Large, uniform pieces are simple to stack and manage, leaving you more time for snacks, drinks, and laughs.


How to Make the Most of XL Briquets

  1. Stack Smart – Whether in a pyramid, block, or your favorite pattern, proper stacking helps spread the heat evenly.

  2. Mix for Speed or Endurance – Want a fast start? Combine with medium briquets. Long session ahead? Go full XL.

  3. Relax While They Work – Once lit, your XL briquets do all the heavy lifting. You focus on food, friends, and fun.


Why You Should Give XL Briquets a Try

  • Reliable, even heat for any type of cook.

  • Less fuss, fewer refills, more enjoyment.

  • Confidence that every meal will turn out perfectly.

Once you try XL briquets, you’ll wonder how you ever grilled without them… lump charcoal is still welcome, of course!


Final Thoughts

XL briquets are the ultimate BBQ companion: steady, reliable, natural, and ready to help you serve epic meals without the stress. Whether it’s a long cook, a chilly night, or a hungry crowd, these briquets have you covered.
