Are King Ceramic Grill Tiles Better Than Lava Rocks

Let’s answer the question, “Are King Ceramic Grill Tiles Better Than Lava Rocks?”.  Both lava rocks and ceramic briquettes are meant to help distribute heat more evenly in the cooking chamber. Both do a reasonably good job. The downside with lava rock is that they trap grease until it reaches a flash point and you have flare ups. Ceramic briquettes try to address this issue by making the briquettes the shape of a pyramid, thus grease rolls off instead of collecting in the pores and crevices until it catches on fire.

The matter of who needs king ceramic briquettes is simply up to the user. They make an excellent replacement for lava rocks which are not able to evenly distribute the heat as well as the ceramic briquettes. The design is beneficial to help cook meats without the harsh burning which could occur from direct flames touching the meat. Claims of better tasting meat on the grill with the use of ceramic briquettes are often reported.

What are the Benefits of Ceramic Briquettes?

The design of the ceramic briquettes offers several benefits. Saving money is the main benefit while the claims of better tasting meats without the harmful smoked in flavors. The best benefit of the ceramic briquettes is that they are easy to install and make a large difference in how the meat is cooked for those who use them right. Since the ceramic briquettes absorb so much heat quickly the gas can be turned off for some time as the heat emanates from the briquettes to cook the meats, potatoes or other foods that are best suited for the grill grid or griddle
