Questions & Answers

Are these briquettes match light so you don’t have to use lighter fluid?
ByMay 9, 2025
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

To light Jealous Devil Max briquettes, the recommended method is using a charcoal chimney with firestarters like Jealous Devil Boom! Firestarters or similar wax cubes. Jealous Devil does not recommend using lighter fluid.

    After getting the briquettes hot ,is it normal for the coals to break apart so easily when spreading them ?
    ByDec 29, 2024
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    On Max, this is normal. When Max gets blazing hot and you dumb the chimney, you will have some breakage. This is due to our briquettes, which do not contain fillers or harsh binders. They are 100% all-natural, with 94% quebracho blanco and 6% vegetable starch to hold them together.

      Answer This Question

      Hey there! The Max XL Briquets will burn a little quicker than our lump does. This is due to Max being ground up lump and combining vegetable starch.The product will get as hot as the lump, but it will burn up a little quicker! I hope this helps!

        Has anyone tried these in a drum style pit? I own a Pit Barrel Cooker
        ByAug 22, 2024
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hey there! Max is 100% safe for a drum smoker. It will act identical to our lump charcoal only producing a little more ash!

          I’m absolutely loving the jealous devil briquettes!!!! They work fantastic in my grill. I would absolutely recommend them if you’re looking for some fuel to use with your grill/bbq.

          I love JD XL lump charcoal, so I thought I'd give the briquettes a try. Don't waste your money. They take forever to light, and when they finally do they disintegrate and become useless. Stick to the JD lump. I'm glad I only bought the small bag.

          If the Briquets crumbled and fought you on lighting, something was off with that experience and we want to fix it. Send your order info to yell@jealousdevil.com and we'll make it right — and help you get the cruise-control burn Max is built for. Your loyalty to the lump means a lot to us. JealousDevilExpert
          I prepared my fireplace with crumpled news paper under the fireplace log rack grill. I then placed at least 6 pieces of kindling wood on the grill; on top of the kindling I placed a couple of handfuls of charcoal on top of the kindling (recommended by H/D's floor rep which I then included in my purchase w/ the fire wood). I then placed the firewood, which I purchased at H/D, on top of the charcoal. I ignited the newspaper which got the kindling and charcoal brilliantly. The fire engulfed fire wood which partially ignited but the fire was out w/in 5minutes. The fire wood I purchase burned for only several minutes, even after all the prep. I'm disappointed (see photo) w/ my purchase.

          Charcoal briquets aren't designed for fireplaces. They're optimized for high-temperature grilling and smoking where you manage airflow directly. JealousDevilExpert

          Love this charcoal! I use this charcoal in all my grills. It provides good heat and good flavor. It lasts a long time and ignites easily.

          When you want a higher heat but very controllable this is the product. Great for smoking which is where the larger briquettes give a strong advantage. Best charcoal currently available.

          Once you cook with the Devil, there’s no going back. Jealous Devil charcoal briquets are my go to because they burn clean, hot, long and consistent allowing for good management of temperature and cook time whether grilling or smoking on a kettle, barrel, offset, ceramic egg, bullet, open grate, etc.

          If you haven’t bbq’d with bargain briquettes you don’t know anything about bbq. Why spend more when this bag has a lady on the front? Get a beer, put on that goofy apron, get it hot, and don’t explain yourself to anyone.
