The outer box looks normal until I opened up the parcel to find the inner wrapper soaked in some sort of cheap fragrance oil. The scent was so strong and oily that it took me a long time to clean up the mess. My hands still smell of it even after many wash. I only hope that the charcoal inside the package are not affected. I did not open it as couldn’t stand the smell further.

I never do Amazon reviews but this is such a cool and innovative product that I wanted to support it. The charcoal burned a long time and I grilled a whole meal without much fuel at all. I also love the commitment to sustainability!

Some of the claims are a bit extravagant and it is eye-wateringly expensive, but it does give off very little smoke and smell. I found that using normal charcoal in my cheap barbecue filled the neighborhood with smoke (I am amazed nobody complained) but these briquettes are much better. I am not embarrassed to grill anymore.It does also seem to burn hotter than conventional charcoal, which is better for cooking. I still use propane to light it - it can take a while to get up to temperature after the propane has burnt off, but does get there.

I ordered these for a friend of mine. He said they lit up quickly, smelled great and cooked his food perfectly.

The charcoal offers low dust production, a long burn duration of 1.5 to 2 hours, easy ignition, and quickly reaches optimal heat for cooking.

I feel it's a bit harder to burn comparing to normal charcoal. It might give less smoke and has less unhealthy ingredients (as it claims), but the difference is not obvious. Overall, I don't feel it perform significantly better than normal charcoal. I might take it over the normal charcoal if the price is similar, but I won't say it's a must-buy.

I bought Organic Charcoal Briquettes by Olivette, Reusable Charcoal for Grilling, USDA Certified, Recycled Olive Tree Byproduct, Ready to Light BBQ Charcoal, 6.6 lb. Bag Equal to 20 lb. Regular Charcoal because of the hype of longer burn time, "ready to light" and as an equivilent to 20 lbs of "regular" charcoal and reusable. Regretfully, it has none of those attributes.Pros:• Leaves less ash than "regular" charcoal briquettes• Burn as hot and long as "regular" charcoal briquettes, about 30-40 minutesCons:• Leaves less ash only because they are smaller than "regular" charcoal briquettes• Are NOT reusable. They burn up just as fast as "regular" charcoal briquettes• They are no easier to light than "regular" charcoal briquettes• There is no way this bag can be the equivelent of a 20 pound bag of "regular" charcoal briquettesI did not get around to testing/using these briquettes until the return window was close, so that's on me, but Organic Charcoal Briquettes by Olivette are a complete waste of money.

I decided to try this eco-friendly charcoal after a few months of using traditional charcoal briquettes and wood lump from my local stores. The smoke from my old bags of briq/lump charcoal was pretty intense -- basically made all of my clothing smell like they had been burned in a house fire and made my lungs feel like I had smoked a pack of cigarettes after each BBQ session. The smoke would also drift into my neighbors residence since our BBQ is on the patio and we are living in a small / close community... so I wanted to find something that could provide equivalent heat and experience, but cut down on the nuisance created by all the toxic smoke.After using Olivette as an alternative to my traditional charcoals, I can say that I'm 100% satisfied with this product. I placed the charcoal in a $15 chimney starter (must have for any BBQ aficionado imo!) and used some non-toxic Weber lighter cubes instead of newspaper, and this combination cut down on the smoke issue by about 99%. By the time the coals got red hot (approx. 10 -15 mins in the starter), the heat was clean and clear, and the smell was mild compared to anything I've ever used before. I was slow cooking my meat and the charcoal was still hot 2 hrs later. No complaints from neighbors and no extremely funky clothing either.So happy to grill now without feeling like I'm going to choke to death!5 Stars-AJ
