You can use a swedish candle for exactly the same purpose as these once the candle is well alight.

 

Cant see the benefit in adding a cavity to add coals/briquettes if your log/candle is dry enough.

It Burns for two and a half Hours maybe thats way.

A good point, although do you really need to BBQ for 2.5 hours often? Not unless you are entertaining several guests I would think. I do like this BBQ in principle - but still think you can use a Sw. candle for the same job as possibly you don't need such a long burn time.

 

All that said, my Mother bought me one of these for christmas and I have to admit it is fantastic. From just 8 briquettes, I have had a burn time of 5+ hours which was enough to do a full chicken sunday roast - all whilst camping! Sometimes you just can't beat a bit a luxury...

 

It is definately a 'base camp' piece of kit, but well worth it IMO.

Have you tried it with lump wood charcoal? Interested to know how long that lasts

No I haven't, but if I get my hands on some lump wood coal I will give it a burn and let you know.

 

I would guess that I would get a long burn out of it in any case as the long burn is caused by an enclosed fire area with series of pre-set air inlet holes, so there is a long smouldering (a bit like firing charcoal itself).
