They're brickets - they suck balls to light. You'll get em eventually although.
I don't know what's in em, but they stink. You want lump charcoal (in the black bag at the supermarket). It's cheaper to pick up lump charcoal at bunnings though.
nostr:npub1jmy8weweqzckna0amz7pn0uhhkxx693l7st23829ewmu43yvjsesfp6xcq, I bit the bullet on the Weber (go anywhere) and have spent the last 30mins trying to figure out how to light the brickets
what is the secret?

They're refinery waste. To light them, either pour a lot of petroleum over them (not a particularly good idea), or with a lot of those waxed-cardboard lighting sticks. Pointing a leaf blower at it (low power mode) helps a lot.
Yeah air compressor, hair dryer or blower helps.
Those things put me off charcoal grilling initially. I don't know why they're so popular.
Get a cast iron plate while you're there.
This one fits with some grinding.
