slow-burning
Explanation:
This is a very misleading term to use in conjuction with a fuel. I'd rewrite it and use "slow-burning".

neutral  Gillian Scheibelein: this term is generally used in conjuction with ceramics with a very high melting point (Al/Mg oxides). The product in question is a fuel that will burn slowly and steadily

agree  TonyTK: "long burn time" (virtualweberbullet.com/newkingsford.html ). Maybe even stick stability in there.

agree  jhp (X): "Feuerstandfestigkeit" is a crucial property of refractories. "Slow burning" (best) or "fire stability".
