Coconut charcoal vs quick-light: the basics
Coconut-shell charcoal is dense and burns longer with less odour, but needs a proper heater and time to light fully. Quick-light charcoal ignites fast with a lighter, yet it produces more smell and a shorter, less steady heat. Whichever type is used, light it fully until it glows evenly, handle it only with tongs, and always use it in a ventilated area away from anything flammable.
