Rated 5 out of 5 by chanelles17 from Great Love grilling food with the mesquite charcoal. The package it comes in is perfect. It lights up nicely and burns pretty evenly. Love the way it leaves that slight taste on the food as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by twaunah from Very Convenient The first time I tried this was by accident. I purchased it not reading the package. I also forgot to grab fluid. After using it I found out it lights faster does not have the charcoal taste and burns longer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by audrac13 from Good These are really good when Girling steaks or Ackon. It does give a nice smoky mesquite flavor to it. I would say it has a shorter burn time than typical, but that’s to be expected with a specialty item.
