BBQ Briquette vs Other Charcoal

BBQ briquettes are uniform pressed pieces that burn steadily and long, unlike irregular hardwood lump (hotter, less consistent) or sawdust briquettes (more ash and smoke).

Grading is a physical sort: briquettes are checked for cracks, chipped edges and off-size pieces, then separated into Grade A, Grade B and Grade C. Mechanical durability is verified separately by drop-shatter test.

Burn time and maximum surface temperature come from a controlled burn test in which a weighed charge of briquettes is lit in a fixed grill setup and monitored with a thermocouple. Those values only mean something alongside the piece size, charge mass and test conditions, which is why the conditions are stated on the COA next to the result.
