Usually after work, I have errands to run. By the time I am done, it is getting late and I need to grill-fast! I use the Easy Light briquettes. They light fast and in just a few, I have hot coals , ready for grilling. By the time I gather the meat , rolls and utensils, I can throw the meat on to grill and because they are hot, my food is done in only a couple of minutes.
