Small 750g pack — NOT 9kg as originally requested. The Restaurant Quality brand isn't on Amazon.es; Kingston Tools is the available substitute. UK-style hardwood lump for trials, short sessions or picnics. A test format.
Kingston Tools is a budget British hardware brand that also sells small hardwood lump charcoal packs. To be honest: this is a small-format substitute for the 9kg Restaurant Quality sack we originally requested, which isn't available on Amazon Spain. The product itself is standard UK lumpwood — mid-sized hardwood pieces, reasonable lighting — but the 750g pack only covers a short session or a picnic. Useful as a trial before committing to a large pack from another brand.
A 750g trial pack — the 9kg sack we wanted isn't on Amazon.es. Honest about what it is: a short session, not a barbecue.
Pros
- Small pack to try before buying a larger format
- UK-style hardwood lump with mid-sized uniform pieces
- Fast chimney-starter light
- Low price, useful for picnics or hibachi
Cons
- Only 750g — trial pack, not for big BBQs
- Substitute for Restaurant Quality 9kg, which isn't on Amazon.es
For you if…
For a short session, a picnic or trying UK lumpwood before committing to a larger format. For a small hibachi or portable grill.
Not for you if…
If you want to cook for more than 2 people or longer than 1 hour — 750g is too little; pick a large pack from another brand.

FAQ
What is such a small 750 g pack for?
It is a trial format, not a party haul. 750 g of UK-style hardwood lump is enough to light a small kamado, run a short session, or test the charcoal before committing to a big sack. It also suits a hibachi or a single-cut, one-off cook.
Is it genuine lump charcoal or briquette?
It is hardwood lump —irregular pieces of charcoal, not a pressed briquette. Lump lights faster, reaches high temperatures with good draught and leaves less ash than briquette, though it burns a touch shorter. It is the format a kamado wants for searing and for getting a session going quickly.
Which kind of kamado does this format suit?
By size it suits small and portable kamados —a Joe Jr, a BGE MiniMax or a Monolith Icon— where the firebox is compact and 750 g fills a useful load. On a Large or XL it falls short for a long session; there a 10-15 kg sack makes more sense.
How do I light it without burning through the whole pack?
With so little charcoal, a small chimney starter is the most efficient route: it lights evenly in 15 minutes with a single firelighter and no fluids. For a portable kamado, a hot-air electric lighter also gets this amount going in a couple of minutes without wasting pieces.
