What's the best/quickest way to light this charcoal?

THIS IS THE BEST WAY I have found. Very easy. Hold charcoal with pliers leaving 1/2 of charcoal exposed and light the exposed end with 2 matches. One or 2 corners will be red. Rest on a incense holder for a minute or two as the rest of the charcoal becomes hot. BTW - I have had this incense for over 15 years and it still will light.

Can I use this charcoal like the odor absorbing bamboo charcoal? Can I place in closets or bathrooms to control moisture and odor?

I have no idea if it will absorb moisture or odor. I use it for incense purposes (after lit and smoldering I place frankincense on it). Sorry couldn't help.

Can this charcoal be used for cooking in a yakitori grill?

definitely no,the charcoal is really small and this is only used for lighting incense,and not for grilling Yakitori.

how long does each cube burn?

30 minutes to an hour, depending on how and where you light it. Torch the middle for shorter burn but more intense heat over a larger surface area. Light a corner over a candle (take much longer) for a longer burn that takes more maintenance. Yields a beautifully white, dusty ash that's perfect for saving.
