I absolutely love Briqs - they have incredible soft serve. Last night, after dinner, I was in the mood for dessert so we decided to try Briqs as it was close to. Sadly, I am the 'one in a million' who thinks it is over-rated and tasteless fare. I just went with a small twist waffle cone. ![]() Now if these were briquettes, totally different story since they contain sawdust, anthracite, sodium nitrate, and all kinds of other crap that is not carbon and that can react with other stuff. Always love going to the home of the 1 pound cone. In order to use a Weber lid, most drums are just a hair too big, and re-shaping the Weber lid results in the loss of the baked-on enamel- not good. It works well, and has a lot of room inside, but it is very heavy. Lump charcoal is just wood-and lumber has a lower kindling temp than charcoal since it still contains volatiles, tar, liquors, and/or chemicals (if treated.) The trusses, joists, etc would have been burning before the charcoal allegedly lit off. On one, I use 1/3 of a drum, cut right at one of the ribs, which overlaps the top bead of the drum. It was not over 300F+ in that attic, nor anywhere near the 600F+ it takes to light off charcoal. The temp in the sample varied by 5F over that 24 hrs.so no burning and we got the exemption to ship 20 tons at a time in a bulk trailer. ![]() So they took these samples and put them in an calibrated oven for certain temps and durations, and measured to see if the temp went up in the over and/or the weight of the charcoal went down (thus showing if the charcoal fines were burning.) I remember one was 280F for 24 hrs. With unique features such as the one pound cone, fresh picked strawberries. There's a bag size limit that if more than 30-40#, then charcoal falls under section 4.2 unless you have an exemption. Founded by Dan Briquelet, our first Briqs Soft Serve store opened in Wausau in 1985. ![]() It's to get around HAZMAT shipping of bulk charcoal. Seems like an easy thing for them to blame.Įdit to add.we send off samples of fines years ago for a "self-heat test". It still takes 670F to light off carbon.that's double what it takes to light off firewood, or 200F+ higher than paper. I relayed that I keep from 50-150 pounds of lump on hand at any given time, stacked in a outbuilding.
