Kettle cooks
You want a pressed bag for a grate and a chimney, not a 25 mm cube. Nature is the 4 kg title at about £17.08, about £4.27 per kilogram if that title weight is the bag. The review sample is two UK notes, and one of them is not a cook.
Coconut briquettes comparison 2026
The best Coconut briquette packs, compared.
Top pick: Nature (4 kg title) Best value: KULL (1 kg, 25 mm) – Lowest shelf price here, about £7.99 for 72 cubes, with the title weight and the item weight both at 1 kg. Updated October 2026.
Coconut briquettes are charcoal pressed from coconut shell into a grate fuel. On amazon.co.uk the same search also returns 25 mm hookah cubes, so the bag you put in a chimney is not the same product as a box of cubes. You tell them apart by shape, by a not-quick-light line, and by whether the piece count agrees with itself. Cubes need a burner or a stove, and never petrol, paraffin or methylated spirits. Lighting steps sit in the [how to light coconut briquettes](/hub/grill-accessories/coconut-briquettes/sub/coconut-briquettes-how-to-light) guide. On a grate they are the bag or the square block you light in a chimney. A grate or a Dutch oven wants mass. A 25 mm cube is a hookah coal unless you are only topping up a small fire. One UK note on 320° used cubes to smoke meat. That is one note, not a long cook. Hookah buyers want about 72 cubes and a burner. Kettle cooks want a bag and a chimney. Prints 8–10 minutes on a high-heat burner until the sides glow, then an ash-over. How a coconut briquette compares with lumpwood for a sear or a long cook is in [coconut briquettes vs lumpwood](/hub/grill-accessories/coconut-briquettes/sub/coconut-briquettes-vs-lumpwood).

Which coconut briquettes suit you?
Question 1 of 2
What are you lighting?
The best Coconut briquette packs in detail
Our view
Nature is a 4 kg coconut shell title at about £17.08, which is £4.27 per kilogram if that title weight is the bag. The brand line says Nature Land Candles. There is no material field, no item weight, no ash figure, and no lighting step. The amazon.co.uk line is 5.0 from 6 reviews. Only two bodies are in the sample. One verified UK note says the pieces last, do not fall apart, and hold their shape. The other reviewer has not used the bag and cites a British BBQ forum. That is too thin a sample to treat the five stars as a cook test.
Pros
- Lowest £/kg in this set if the 4 kg title is the pack
- One verified UK note says the pieces hold their shape
- Shelf price about £17.08
Cons
- No item-weight field to confirm 4 kg
- Only two review bodies, and one is not a cook
- No size, ash figure, or lighting method
Best for: You want the lowest stated price per kilogram in this set and can accept a six-review count.
Less suitable: You need a cube count, a binder line, or more than one cook report before you buy.

Our view
Zen is about £8.49 for a 907 g pack, which is £9.36 per kilogram. The bullets say about 64 coconut shell cubes and that they burn longer than other shisha coals, with no minute figure. The unit count says 80. The brand line is UK-UNIQUE and the manufacturer line is c900. A bullet names a barbecue beside shisha. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.7 from 21 reviews. One UK body is in the sample and says the cubes do the job. There is no cube size and no lighting method.
Pros
- Title weight and item weight both say 907 g
- About £8.49 shelf price
- A bullet names barbecue as well as shisha
Cons
- About 64 cubes versus a unit count of 80
- No size and no burn minutes
- One review body against a count of 21
- Manufacturer line is c900
Best for: You want a sub-£9 coconut cube pack and you only need one short UK note that it works.
Less suitable: You need a piece count that matches, a cube size, or a burn time in minutes.

What does the review sample show?
The listing score is 4.7 from 21 reviews. One UK body is in the sample. It says the cubes do the job and that the buyer would get them again. It does not say barbecue or shisha.
Our view
Petromax Cabix Plus is the top pick in this set for a fire pot or a grill because the bullets name that job, claim up to four hours, and say you can put unused pieces out and use them again. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 516 reviews. The 44 review bodies in the sample are headed Germany and talk about a Dutch oven, even heat, and mould if the pack sits unused. The material field says cast iron while the bullets say residues from coconut milk production, so the feedstock is the bullet, not that field. There is no lighting method and no millimetre size. About £17.49 on the 2.98 kg field is £5.87 per kilogram.
Pros
- Bullets say up to four hours and a grooved shape for airflow
- Reuse after extinguishing is on the listing
- 4.6 from 516 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Low ash is claimed, with no percentage
Cons
- Material field says cast iron against a coconut bullet
- Review bodies in the sample are Germany, not the United Kingdom
- No lighting steps
Best for: You want a square briquette for a Dutch oven or a grill and can accept a four-hour claim that is seller text.
Less suitable: You need a UK review body in the sample, or a listing whose material field matches the coconut bullet.

Common questions
What are these briquettes made from?
The bullets and the included-components line say natural raw materials from coconut milk production. The material field says cast iron. The flavour field says coconut. Treat the cast-iron line as a conflict, not as the fuel.
How long does the listing say they burn?
The bullets say up to four hours of constant, even embers, and that you can extinguish them and use them again. There is no lighting method in the bullets. The review bodies in the sample are about a Dutch oven and are headed Germany.
What do the reviews in the sample repeat?
The amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 516 reviews. The 44 bodies in the sample praise a long Dutch-oven burn and even heat. One says mould appears if they sit unused. None of those bodies is headed United Kingdom.
Our view
KENZ is 72 cubes of 25 mm coconut shell at about £38.79. The item weight is 1.05 kg, so that shelf price is £36.94 per kilogram, far above the other cube boxes here. The listing says the coals are not quick light. Directions say a high-heat burner or stove for 8–10 minutes until all sides glow, then let them ash over. Ash is described as lower, with no percentage. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.5 from 125 reviews. The 27 bodies in the sample are headed United States and talk about hookah. They praise a long, clean burn and also say the cubes take a long time to heat.
Pros
- Lighting steps are on the listing: 8–10 minutes, then ash over
- 25 mm and 72 cubes are both on the title
- 4.5 from 125 on the star line
- US notes mention a long burn and little ash
Cons
- About £38.79 for about 1 kg
- No UK review body in the sample
- No burn time in minutes
- No best-sellers rank in the sample
Best for: You already know this 25 mm cube and you accept a much higher price per kilogram.
Less suitable: You are comparing £8–£9 cube boxes, or you want a UK cook in the sample.

Common questions
How do you light them, according to the listing?
The directions say this is not quick-light charcoal. Use a high-heat burner or a stove for 8–10 minutes until all sides are glowing, then let the cubes ash over before use.
What does about £38.79 buy?
The title says 72 cubes of 25 mm. The item weight is 1.05 kg. There is no kilogram on the title. On that weight field the price is £36.94 per kilogram.
Are the reviews in the sample from the UK?
The star line is 4.5 from 125. The 27 bodies in the sample are headed United States. They describe hookah sessions, a long burn, low ash, and a slow heat-up. No UK body is in the sample.
Our view
The 320° 1 kg box is 72 cubes of 25 mm at about £8.99. It has the largest review count in this set, 4.4 from 3,127, and the first 50 bodies are United Kingdom. Buyers often mention a long burn and low ash. The bullets claim under 2.5% ash and up to 100 minutes a cube, which is seller text. The title says 1 kg while the item-weight field says 1.1 kg. Lighting steps are missing from the bullets. Review titles mention smell, a slow light on a stove, and a bad batch. One UK note uses the cubes to smoke meat. The bullets themselves centre on hookah bowls.
Pros
- 72 cubes of 25 mm at about £8.99
- 4.4 from 3,127 reviews, the largest count in this set
- Bullets state under 2.5% ash and up to 100 minutes
- UK notes include a fast heat-up and a short wait on a stove
Cons
- Title weight 1 kg against an item-weight field of 1.1 kg
- No lighting method on the listing
- Smell, a slow light, and a bad batch appear in review titles
Best for: You want the 25 mm cube box with the largest UK review count for a hookah coil or a short outdoor top-up.
Less suitable: You need a briquette bed for a long kettle cook, or you want the title weight and the item weight to match exactly.

What do the reviews repeat?
The listing score is 4.4 from 3,127 reviews. In the first 50 bodies, buyers often mention a long burn and low ash. Titles also mention smell, a slow light, and a bad batch.
Our view
Valley is about £8.97. The bullets say 72 coconut cubes, up to 100 minutes, for incense, a BBQ, or shisha. The unit count says 80. The item weight is 1.05 kg, so the price is £8.54 per kilogram on that field. There is no cube size in millimetres and no ash figure. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.4 from 11 reviews. Two UK bodies are in the sample. One says the cubes last once lit. The other says they smell like gasoline. The rank line is incense, not barbecuing charcoal.
Pros
- About £8.97 and a 100-minute bullet
- Named for incense, BBQ, or shisha
- Origin Indonesia
Cons
- 72 pieces versus a unit count of 80
- No cube size
- One of two UK notes reports a gasoline smell
- Only two bodies against a count of 11
Best for: You want a small coconut-cube pack around £9 and you will smell the bag before a long cook.
Less suitable: You need a stated cube size, an ash figure, or a review sample about a barbecue.

Our view
M. ROSENFELD is about £19.90 for a coconut-shell cube pack that the title calls 3 kg, 25 mm, and 200 pieces. The item weight is 2.9 kg. A bullet says 80 cubes at 26 mm and up to 90 minutes. Another line says the coals are not instant light and need a burner or a stove. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.3 from 3,220 reviews, but this sample holds 15 bodies. UK notes include a clean burn and also crumbling, a hard light, a short burn, and cubes that crack. Do not treat 200 pieces and 80 pieces as the same pack.
Pros
- Origin Indonesia and coconut shell are on the listing
- Not instant light, with a burner or stove named
- Up to 90 minutes is repeated in the bullets
- 4.3 from 3,220 on the star line
Cons
- 200 pieces versus 80, and 25 mm versus 26 mm
- 3 kg versus a 2.9 kg field
- UK notes include crumbling, cracking, and a hard light
- Only 15 bodies sit under the 3,220 count
Best for: You want a larger cube box and you will check the piece count on the bag you receive.
Less suitable: You need the title, the bullet, and the weight field to describe one pack.

Are they instant light?
The listing says they are not instant light and need a charcoal burner or an electric or gas stove. One UK review says they were almost impossible to light.
What do the reviews in the sample say?
The star line is 4.3 from 3,220. This sample has 15 bodies. UK notes mention a decent burn and also poor quality, crumbling, cracking, and a short burn.
Our view
KULL is the best value in this set because about £7.99 buys a 1 kg pack whose title and item weight agree, with 72 pieces and a 25 × 25 mm cube. The material line says not quick light, and the title says 100 minutes. The bullets put ash under 2.5%. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.2 from 125 reviews, and the first 50 bodies are United Kingdom. They praise a long shisha burn and also complain that the cubes need a stove or burner, ash out, or smell. Item type says BBQ charcoal. Those review bodies describe shisha, not a kettle bed.
Pros
- About £7.99 for 1 kg and 72 pieces, the lowest shelf price here
- Title weight and item weight both say 1 kg
- Not quick light is on the material line
- 50 UK review bodies against a count of 125
Cons
- Cube height is not stated
- Ash and smell complaints sit next to the low-ash bullet
- The review sample is shisha, not a grill bed
Best for: You want the cheapest fully specified 25 mm cube pack in this set and you will light it as a natural coal.
Less suitable: You want a pillow or square briquette bed for a long kettle cook, or a coal that lights from a flame in seconds.

Common questions
Are these quick-light coals?
The material line says not quick light. UK reviews say they will not light in about 10 seconds and need heat from a stove or burner. One buyer says that wait defeats the point.
How many cubes are in the pack?
The title and the unit count both say 72 pieces in 1 kg. The cube is given as 25 × 25 mm, without a third measurement. The shelf price is about £7.99.
What do the UK reviews repeat?
The listing score is 4.2 from 125 reviews. In the first 50 bodies, buyers often mention a long shisha burn and low ash, and also uneven burn, smell, and a slow heat-up.
How we compared
We shortlisted 28 coconut briquette and cube listings on amazon.co.uk and kept these eight where the title or the bullets name coconut. The score uses the UK star rating and the review count, then shape, a not-quick-light line, whether the pack agrees with itself, seller ash and burn claims, and price per kilogram. It is not a lab burn, and none of these eight ASINs was matched to the England authorised-fuel list.

Coconut briquettes buying guide
Choose the shape first, then a lighting method that matches it, then a listing whose piece count and weight describe one pack. Burn minutes and ash percentages on these pages are seller text.
What are coconut briquettes?
Coconut briquettes are charcoal pressed from coconut shell. On a grate they are the bag or the square block you light in a chimney. On amazon.co.uk the same words also return 25 mm hookah cubes. Of the eight listings kept here, only Nature and Petromax Cabix Plus are grill-bed briquettes. Nature is about £17.08 with 4 kg on the title and no item-weight field under it.
Best for
- Kettle cooks who want a bag and a chimney
- Dutch-oven cooks using a square briquette
- Hookah buyers who want about 72 cubes and a burner
Not ideal for
- Anyone lighting cubes on a hob in a closed room
- A long kettle cook that needs grate mass from a 25 mm cube
- A buyer who needs these ASINs matched to a Defra authorised fuel
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Reading BBQ on a hookah title as grate fuel
A 25 mm cube is a hookah coal unless you are only topping up a small fire. Nature and Petromax are the grill-bed rows in this set. The other six are cubes.
- 2
Trusting two piece counts at once
M. ROSENFELD says 200 pieces and 80. Valley says 72 and a unit count of 80. Zen says about 64 and a unit count of 80. Goods should match the description you relied on.
- 3
Lighting natural coal with petrol or cooking through a solvent smell
Never petrol, paraffin or methylated spirits. One Valley note reports a gasoline smell. Stop if the bag smells of solvent. Store Petromax dry. One German review reports mould if Cabix Plus sits unused.
What to weigh up
Shape
HighA grate or a Dutch oven wants mass. A 25 mm cube is a hookah coal unless you are only topping up a small fire. In this set only Nature and Petromax Cabix Plus are grill-bed briquettes. Nature is a coconut shell title at about £17.08 with 4 kg on the title and no item-weight field. Petromax is a square briquette, about £17.49 on a 2.98 kg field, with bullets that name a fire pot and a grill. The other six are cubes of about 25 mm where a size is stated: KULL, 320°, M.
Lighting
HighNatural coconut is not quick light. Bags take a chimney and barbecue firelighters. Cubes in this set need a burner or a stove. KENZ prints 8–10 minutes on a high-heat burner or stove until all sides glow, then an ash-over. KULL’s material line says not quick light, and UK reviews say the cubes will not light in about 10 seconds. M. ROSENFELD says the coals are not instant light and need a charcoal burner or an electric or gas stove. One UK review says they were almost impossible to light.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Dutch-oven cooks
You want a square briquette named for a fire pot or a grill. Petromax Cabix Plus claims up to four hours and says unused pieces can be put out and used again. The 44 review bodies in the sample are headed Germany.
Hookah buyers
You want about 72 cubes and a burner, not a kettle bed. KULL is about £7.99 for 1 kg and 72 cubes of 25 mm, and the material line says not quick light. The UK review bodies describe shisha.
Common questions about Coconut briquette packs
Which coconut briquettes are the top pick in 2026?
Petromax Cabix Plus is the top pick for a fire pot or a grill. The bullets name that job, claim up to four hours, and say you can put unused pieces out and use them again. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 516 reviews. The 44 review bodies in the sample are headed Germany. The material field says cast iron, while the bullets say coconut-milk residues. About £17.49 is £5.87 per kilogram on the 2.98 kg field.
Which pack is the best value?
KULL is the best value. About £7.99 buys 1 kg and 72 cubes of 25 × 25 mm, the lowest shelf price in this set, and the title weight matches the item weight. The material line says not quick light, and the title says 100 minutes. Ash under 2.5% is a bullet, not a certificate. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.2 from 125 reviews, and the first 50 bodies are United Kingdom. They describe shisha, not a kettle bed.
How much do coconut briquettes cost?
In this set, entry cubes are about £7.99–£8.99 a pack: KULL about £7.99, Zen about £8.49, Valley about £8.97 and 320° about £8.99. Mid shelf prices are Nature about £17.08, Petromax about £17.49 and M. ROSENFELD about £19.90. KENZ is about £38.79 on a 1.05 kg field, about £36.94 per kilogram. These are the eight kept amazon.co.uk prices, not a market survey. Price per kilogram only counts on a weight line you can see.
Are 25 mm cubes the same as grill briquettes?
A grate or a Dutch oven wants a pressed bag or a square briquette. A 25 mm cube is a hookah coal unless you are only topping up a small fire. Here, Nature and Petromax are the grill-bed rows. KULL, 320°, M. ROSENFELD, KENZ, Valley and Zen are cubes. Reading BBQ on a hookah title does not make the cube a grate fuel. One UK 320° note smoked meat with cubes. That is one note, not a long cook.
How do you light natural coconut charcoal?
Natural coconut is not quick light. Bags take a chimney and barbecue firelighters. Cubes in this set need a burner or a stove. KENZ prints 8–10 minutes on a high-heat burner until all sides glow, then an ash-over. KULL’s material line says not quick light. Never petrol, paraffin or methylated spirits. A hob of cubes in a shut kitchen is not a safe method. London Fire Brigade also rules out indoor use, balconies and bringing a cool-looking barbecue inside.
Do these packs meet BS EN 1860-2?
Do not treat these eight packs as BS EN 1860-2 passes or as Defra authorised fuels. BS EN 1860-2:2023 covers barbecue charcoal and briquettes. A 2025 paper reports ash ceilings of 8% for lump and 18% for briquettes, and moisture at 8%. A 2.5% bullet on 320° or KULL is seller text, not that test. The England authorised-fuel list includes ProQ COCOCHA. These ASINs were not matched to it. Natural is not the same as authorised.
Can you use coconut briquettes indoors?
No. London Fire Brigade says never indoors, never on a balcony, never petrol, and do not bring the barbecue inside after it looks cool. GOV.UK adds tents, awnings and caravans, and notes that shisha can expose you to carbon monoxide. If charcoal was used indoors and someone is headachy, sick or has collapsed, leave. Call 999 if they have collapsed. London Fire Brigade also points at 0800 111 999 for a suspected carbon monoxide incident.
How does this set differ from other barbecue charcoal?
These eight rows are coconut shell pressed into a briquette or a 25 mm cube. Ordinary barbecue charcoal on amazon.co.uk is a wider set of lumpwood, instant-light and wood briquettes, with different lighting and a different price per kilogram. The charcoal comparison keeps that wider bag choice. Four wood briquettes were removed from this coconut set because the material field said wood. A cube price, including KENZ at about £38.79, is not a better grill bag.
Our verdict
Petromax Cabix Plus is the top pick for a fire pot or a grill. The bullets name that job, claim up to four hours, and say unused pieces can be put out and used again. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 516 reviews, and the review sample is headed Germany. KULL is the best value at about £7.99 for 1 kg and 72 cubes of 25 mm, with not quick light on the material line and UK review bodies about shisha. If you need a grate bag rather than a cube, Nature is the other briquette, at about £17.08 on a 4 kg title.
