Jealous Devil Charcoal
BBQ charcoal that packs a punch
At last Jealous Devil charcoal has arrived in Sweden, after struggling in the backyard for many years with the charcoal dust mix readily available from the local suppliers up pops the real McCoy.
“chunx” Charcoal
The XL lump charcoal “chunx” and the restaurant grade Binchotan “onyx”
What a pleasant surprise it was to open the bag of Jealous Devil “chunx” and find decent large pieces of charcoal. Charcoal logs as big as beer cans!
Another bonus is that neither the “chunx” or the “onyx” contain charcoal powder or dust, and as secondary bonuses this quality product automatically reduces the risk of soiling the set dinner table or your guests’ clothes, these obviously traits are for the discerning BBQ enthusiasts and maybe not so important but worth keeping in mind as friction free bonuses.
The big win is that there’s max charcoal for your purchase and that the content specifications are real, and this doesn’t happen every day.
I added on a chimney of “chunx” to a bed of binchotan “onyx” the result was exactly as stated on their marketing information hotter than hell, but not only hotter than hell but it burnt long and slow and kept its heat much longer than the locally purchased soot.
The “chunx” spec, again “chunx” burns hot & long, the big chunks also have the hollow
metallic sound as the “onyx” a clean burn with minimal smoke and no sparks.
Binchotan
Here is all the technical info you need re binchotan “onyx” no smoke means it’s ideal for an enclosed or restricted area e.g. hibachi grills or professional restaurants with coal grills kitchens.
As the brochure says the charcoal feels somewhat metallic, it sounds a little different as well kind of hollow with a metal clang.
