Somewhat messy, but zero taste impact,
This review is from: Coshell COSAZ9 9-Pound Bag Coconut Shell Charcoal Briquettes (Lawn & Patio)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I'm more of a fan of gas-fired BBQ (heresy, I know for the BBQ purists) or electric (smoking). When I do go for the traditional coal, I usually use hardwood briquettes since I don't care for the way regular briquettes make the food taste.These coconut shell briquettes were a nice change. They did take a bit longer to catch than regular briquettes (used a chimney-type device to get them lit) but once they got started they burned evenly. Best of all, no taste impact - nice and clean. The manufacturer claims they burn hotter and longer, but I didn't notice a huge difference. A bit longer, perhaps, but the heat seems to be no different. That's just my impression, however - didn't do any side-by-side tests. While they burn clean, they are not clean when it comes to handling them. Lots of black soot comes off on your hands, and quite a bit of messy powder is in the bag, probably due to the bouncing about during shipping. Much messier than hardwood. The mess knocks the rating down a star. While these won't convert me away from gas and electric, it is a viable alternative to hardwood charcoal.

Clean, but are they too clean?,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Charcoal made from coconut shells- who would imagine such a concept? Well, that is exactly what you get with Coshell charcoal briquettes, an environmentally- friendly alternative to ordinary charcoal. This product claims to burn longer and hotter than regular charcoal and since it is all- natural, it produces less waste and the leftovers can even be used as fertilizer.Given the lofty claims and uniqueness of this product, I was anxious to give it a try. Opening the bag, my first impression was mixed. The briquettes are more evenly shaped and smoother than ordinary charcoal, but I noticed that they were quite dirty, leaving a black, powdery coating on the hands. Oh well- at least they look good. So far, the product seems acceptable. Now, it was time for the real test: lighting the briquettes on fire and using them to cook some burgers and steaks. I noticed that the product took a little longer to catch fire, but once it was caught, the briquettes slowly turned gray in color and they held their heat for a good long time. Of all the positive qualities during the heating and cooking process, the one I remember best is the cleanliness of this product. It doesn't produce much smoke and it imparts almost no taste on the food. If there is anything negative to say about this product (aside from the initial handling), it would be the fact that coconut shells do not accomplish much in the way of adding flavor to the food. Like I said, they impart almost no taste difference due to their cleanliness and while this will be considered an asset to some, others will immediately give this product a failing grade because they will want to taste mesquite or at least some smokiness in their food. You don't get any added flavor benefits, so it is almost like cooking on a stovetop. Coconut shell briquettes are an interesting concept and this product is certainly an unusual one. I like that it is more environmentally- friendly than ordinary charcoal and I like knowing that there is no landfill waste to worry about. The powdery mess is an annoyance, but I still like this product overall and I consider it one worth trying.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Didn't expect this. This product heats hotter and lasts longer than any other briquet out there. I really wasn't anticipating having to manage the cool down time like I did.I used some in my cooker and used to much. The heat went way over what it should have been. Ended up having Salmon jerky stuck to my grill. I should have believed their description of the product, but any more, who can trust advertising, you know? For what I normally would have used to grill two steaks, I ended up putting a 2" roast on the grill. I probably did 10 pounds more on the grill with this stuff than I do with "other" brands. The charcoal clean up was about the same. The odor was a bit odd. If you're a grill freak, this might throw you. Also, these chunks are dense. They are twice the weight of a regular briquet. I loved it and am getting more. I'm not going to back to the petroleum impregnated charcoal I used to use. Probably healthier too!
