Part 3/7:
The test involved burning three briquettes using the top-down method—placing fire lighters and kindling beneath the briquettes in a specific arrangement to optimize airflow and combustion. The briquettes came in packs of 20, promising consistent performance across the range.
ignition and Initial Burn
Once ignited, the briquettes caught fire quickly, with the kindling lighting efficiently and the flames spreading seamlessly. The initial temperature surged rapidly, reaching nearly 600°C within the first ten minutes, indicating a vigorous start. The reviewer notes the importance of managing airflow—initially keeping both vents fully open—and adjusting based on the burn pattern.
