I was so excited to finally find ceramic bricks with a charcoal flavoring for a gas grill. I had looked everywhere locally. Amazon had them all the time. This is why I ordered six bags! Thanks, Amazon.

I'm using these briquets in a Charbroil gas grill with a cooking surface of 25"x14". These are the cheap gas grills you buy at Wal-Mart for $100, so nothing special here. I used to have lavarocks on the flame grate in the grill and was moderately satisfied with them. These briquets look to be a nice upgrade.

Why are these better for lavarocks for me? Well, they are much lower profile when laid flat, which will keep the coals farther away from your food when cooking. This is good because when fat drips down onto the briquets, you reduce the likelihood that a flame will jump up and burn your food. This used to happen ALL the time with the lavarocks, and is a primary reason why I got rid of them.

So functionally these briquets are great. My only grind here is that there isn't quite enough of them in this bag to cover an average sized grill. I could only cover about 80% of the bottom flame grate with the full quantity in the bag which is disappointing. Laying the briquets flat in a square array helps maximize the covered surface area, which is what I'm doing. I'll probably order a second bag in the future if these continue to be as good as they are initially.

Ceramic briquettes are impossible to find in stores these days. No problems with them so far. There were just enough for my average sized grill. People with large grill will need more than one bag.

These work great for keeping the temperture in my smoker up. I cover them with foil to help keep them clean.

These briquets come as described. I found a couple of broken ones in the bag, but only a couple, with most being intact. The quantity in the bag may or may not be what you desire. If you are simply wanting to line the bottom of your grill with a single layer surrounding the burner (flat), then one bag may be sufficient. If you would prefer multiple layers, perhaps even covering the burner, then you will need multiple bags, probably more than two, depending upon the surface area of your grill.
