briquettes
In their simplest form, these are just hardwood coal dust that’s compressed into a briquette, forming a pillow shape. The shape of the briquettes means you need fewer coals to achieve great results. Usually mixed with limestone for coloring, sawdust as a filler, borax as a release agent, starch to help bind everything together. They’re cheap, ubiquitous, and reliable.
Briquettes are highly flammable and light up quickly. You’ve got to be patient and allow the coals to burn off all of their quick-lighting material. They are cost effective and burns slow and consistently
