they are easy to light and they last pretty long and don't ash too much - what i like to do when im only looking for a quick smoke is take a flat head screwdriver and split 1 coal right down the middle lengthwise then light each half and place them face down on the bowl -
Definitely not odorless - When you put them on the stove it gives off a distinctly disgusting chemical smell that burns my senses and gives me a headache - CocoNara/CocoMazaya are MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better for natural coals -
