Can I use these in any type of grill?

How often should I replace them?
With proper care and regular cleaning, ceramic briquettes can last for a considerable amount of time. Replacement is typically needed when they show significant signs of wear or performance degradation.
What is the main advantage over lava rocks?

Do I need to pre-heat them?
It's generally recommended to pre-heat them on the grill as part of your normal grilling routine to ensure they reach optimal cooking temperature.
Troubleshooting
Uneven cooking or hot spots
Check that the briquettes are not packed too tightly. Ensure there are adequate gaps between them for air circulation. Redistribute them evenly.
Excessive flare-ups despite using briquettes
Verify that the briquettes are correctly coated and undamaged. Ensure the grill's grease management system is functioning properly and not overflowing onto the briquettes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, it is recommended to heat the briquettes on the grill for a short period. Arrange the briquettes in a single layer within your grill's heat distribution tray. Crucially, do not place them too tightly together. Ensure there are small gaps between each briquette to maintain necessary air circulation. This is vital for proper heat management and to prevent excessive temperatures.
Compatibility: These briquettes are designed as a high-quality replacement for lava rocks and are generally compatible with most gas grills that utilize a heat distribution tray. Always consult your grill's manual to confirm compatibility with ceramic briquettes.
Care: Cleaning is straightforward due to the smooth, non-coated surface. After the grill has cooled, brush off any loose debris. For more stubborn residue, use a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the coating. Periodically check the briquettes for any signs of significant wear or damage.
