Anyone with high expectations need to know that he will be among the happy little quickly ignited coals. Natural coals are hot.
Compared with the fast-igniting AlFakher can say the following: the AlFakher are a bit faster (after about 20 seconds annealed while it is necessary to leave the Three Kings about 40 to 60 seconds, but the AlFakher developed an extremely unpleasant odor, so they always somewhere best must ignite outdoors whereas the Three Kings rather 'saloon capable' are. However, even slightly uncomfortable in the ignition.
The annealing time is acceptable for the price, a coal comes about three quarters of an hour annealing time.
The ash is indeed immense development (the full volume of the coal is transformed into ashes), but the coal keeps its shape, and the ashes can be deported very simple with a charcoal tongs, or the edge of the windscreen from the still glowing part of the coal. Unless you so a plate under the head has no problem.
