In the past I have used Ghilla Grilla as it comes with the BBQ Professional Pack, I used it in my Weber Kettle, very impressive.
I have since found this to be that little big easier to maintain that even temperature than the Dura (ACH15) but that’s my personal views.
Ghilla Grilla charcoal is very good so now i have ordered another bag, as I have got myself a Weber Smokey Mountain.
I was unsure of the best fuel to use for long slow cooks on my WSM.
I have been reading many reviews on the Big K charcoal products and I wanted to try the Applewood but unfortunately it this time of ordering it was out of stock, but there are many saying that Ghilla Grilla is very good.
Looking forward to using in my WSM for those long slow cooks.
This is an ideal charcoal that can produce a very good high heat, but its also easy controllable if it gets to high.

The product itself is great. The only issue is that some orders suffer in transit and have a lot of small pieces/powder. Would be great to consistently get the big chunks but it is a matter of luck.

Only opened the bag to check quality and size and did a quick small cook to test, the bag looks medium size pieces but consistent throughout the bag which is good, could do with being a little bigger but I think it’s the nature of the wood used to create the charcoal isn’t big to start with so no real complaints, the flavour profile from a quick cook was lovely, quite subtle, not sure what it’s like over a longer cook but I’m sure the subtle smoke flavour will be the same

I used this together with the Lumpwood Briquette (RCB10FSC) as recommended) in a Weber Smokey Mountain to do belly pork and chicken thighs and wings for a party. It was brilliant. I filled the charcoal bowl, positioning the briquettes as the spokes of a wheel and the Chilla-Grilla to infill between the spokes. I put the burning coals from the chimney in the centre (like the hub of the wheel). It kept the smoker at 110-125C without top-up, for 11hrs. I checked the smoker at 12hrs (just before going to bed) and it was still 100C. I did have to choke it off a couple of time buy closing the top vent. Need to keep the water bowl topped-up.
I also used the same combination in two kettles, one set up for direct-heat, the other indirect heat. Brilliant. But you do need to give it time to get going – don’t expect to rush the job. We ignored the direct heat kettle for a while and it went to over 300C about 90 minutes after being lit.

The name says it all really, this is a cooler (Chilla) burning charcoal which makes it ideal for slow cooks or direct cooking. My first cook was a spatchcock chicken on the Kamado Joe but with the heat deflectors in place I could not get the temp up above 150C even with all the vents open. I quickly removed the deflectors and cooked the bird direct and it was superb, perfectly cooked with no burning.
Inspired by this I decided to do a paella over open coals with the dome up, lower vent closed for the entire cook. Normally this is a pain with Kamado Joe Big Block and other charcoal as the heat runs away and I am constantly closing the dome to lower the heat but the Chilla-Grilla just kept glowing nicely for the full 40 minute cook. A perfect Valencia Paella over an open fire in a Kamado!
I suggest leaving the Chilla-Grilla burn for about 45 minutes before starting to cook to allow the flames to die down. There is very little smoke from there on. After about 90+ minutes of burn I closed the dome and vents and was pleasantly suprised the next morning to find about a third of the charcoal left. The Chilla-Grilla is definitely an essential for slow cooks and open/direct cooking.
Next it will be on to try the Dura and Marabu and also the Apple wood and Flama if I can ever get hold of them.

Great long lasting charcoal for my home BBQ, best cooking temperature about 45 minutes after first lighting using a couple of Woodies firelighters in a Weber Rapidfire Chimney Charcoal Starter. The charcoal temperature is good for a further 2 hours cooking. After you’ve finished carefully scoop the hot charcoal out of the bbq and put it in a fire pit on chilly evening to enjoy the heat even longer.

Initially tried this product via a purchase on Amazon. Great quality, good sized chunks and lasts a lot longer than any other charcoal I’ve ever used. Once lit the charcoal maintains a steady heat, unlike some where you end up having to manage the peaks and troughs of heat with a small window for cooking.
I liked the first bag so much that i decided to register direct with Big K and buy direct. Price was competitive against Amazon and the delivery was equally as efficient. Further benefit was that they threw in a free set of fire lighters (Which I’ve not had chance to use yet)

This charcoal is a million miles away from the usual supermarket/filling station stuff. Nice big chunks that don’t fall straight through the grate, maintains temperature for a couple of hours. Only used once so far; for a whole spatchcocked chicken that needed about an hour. Nice smoky flavour without the chemically taste that some fuels impart. Hot stuff indeed!

I have used Big K for a while for all my charcoal needs with no problems at all. Unfortunately this latest order was not so good. I received 2 bags of the 12kg Chilla Grilla charcoal one of which was perfect but sadly the other one of them was of very poor quality, with large lumps of unburnt wood and generally not of the quality I have come to expect from Big K. However, Big K when contacted were very apologetic and offered to supply a replacement bag free of charge. This is the only mishap in an otherwise unblemished relationship with Big K so I will give them the benefit of the doubt this time around.

First, despite the pandemic restrictions the Charcoal arrived in a timely fashion.
But that is just where it starts. I’ve been barbecuing for 25 plus years, have tried many different restaurant grade charcoals but Chilla Grilla is by far the best. It heats consistently, provides a powerful, long lasting cook and provides a subtle addition to the flavour of the meats. Assuming the product doesn’t change, it’s safe to say I won’t be changing product again.

Great service as usual from the team, arrived on time and well packaged. I have moved from store bought charcoal to Big K – burns roughly twice as long and the heat is definitely superior. Very little smoke when lighting. The price might seem expensive but it lasts so much longer than the store bought equivalent. Being a South African and having a bit of experience – the best I have found so far. Would definitely recommend this product.

Great kárvouno, I’ve used Dura, Apple Wood , and Chilla-Grilla with my Foukou and Weber, all are consistent and light easily and hold their heat for a long time. I appreciate the great service and quick delivery, got my latest delivery today, efharisto.

Used in my tandoor for the first time last week. Good quality and useful to get the ‘slow burn’ ones going.

One of my favorite restaurant charcoals. Nice size pieces of charcoal that burn well. Not quite 5 stars as some of the other Big K products are even better!

The product is outstanding, burns with no smoke and stays hot for ages, but quite expensive.
The delivery cost is high but almost outweighs the quality of the product.

Bought this charcoal after not being able to find any at a good price anywhere else – was delivered earlier than expected and when used it was much better quality than the type we normally get. Would definitely buy again!

First time ordering from BIG K and I was not disappointed by this product. Used a chimney to assist lighting, which did not take long, and once lit provided good even heat for the advertised time.
