Premium German briquettes from the ProFagus "Grillis" line — 100% beech. Only the 2.5kg pack is on Amazon.es (Germany gets 10kg). Very long burn time, clean white ash. Designed for medium cooks in a small or mid-sized kamado.
ProFagus has produced briquettes since 1933 in Bodenfelde, Lower Saxony, and is one of the few European makers pressing with natural lignin alone. The "Grillis" line (2.5kg) is the only one that reaches Amazon Spain regularly — the 10kg professional format stays exclusive to German distribution. The briquette is a hollow cylinder that helps chimney-starter airflow and lights in 15 minutes with no grey smoke. Flat 110-130°C across the load.
Honest note: we wanted the 10kg sack but only 2.5kg is on Amazon.es. Even so, the briquette excels in small kamados.
Pros
- PEFC European beech, no starch or paraffin
- Clean light, no white smoke, in 15 minutes
- Flat 110-130°C across the load
- Clean white ash, low residue percentage
Cons
- Only 2.5kg — the 10kg professional format isn't on Amazon.es
- Briquettes leave more ash than lump (8-10% vs ~3%)
Who it's for
For small or mid-sized kamado on medium cooks (4-5h). For anyone valuing briquette quality over volume per euro.
Not for
If you smoke 14h briskets or run an XL kamado — 2.5kg is too little; combine with another briquette or lump.
