What is the difference between briquette charcoal and natural lump charcoal?
Pure, all-natural lump charcoal lights quickly and heats the EGG to cooking temperature in minutes – the same as most gas, pellet or briquette grills. Lump charcoal produces less ash than chemical-laden briquets, so there is minimal cleanup and charcoal that remains in the grill after a cook can be used for the next cook, delivering more performance and value in every bag.
