Great stuff! Bushed not trees. New go to

I've been a griller for years, I'm a charcoal grilling purest. No gas grills anywhere near my house. So when I stumbled upon The Good Charcoal, I thought I would give it a shot, TBH when first saw it, I liked the bag and the price for a hardwood charcoal. So I read a few comments about the charcoal piece size, and I get it, people say bigger is better, but after years of grilling, I have found that not to be the case. At first, I was a bit skeptical too. But here's the thing, some people just grab the top bag that's been tossed around and beat up and get angry when its all crushed up, no surprise. When I opened up my bag I saw a wide variety of piece sizes somewhat were actually pretty large chunks but those smaller pieces burned just as well and helped me even out the charcoal to avoid hot spots. After my first cook, I was pleased so I actually looked into this product after skimming the claims on the bag and I realized The Good Charcoal sources its charcoal from invasive bushes, not from old growth trees that take hundreds of years to grow like oak or hickory. So, I was pretty pumped about that, Its mild flavor lets me add a few chucks of wood to taste and I can tell my wife I’m doing my part by helping cut down invasive species and give my kid a brat cooked over chemical-free charcoal. I mean come on, find me another brand doing more than these guys. I don't mean to preach it's just that it bumps me out that a brand doing so much good is being reviewed like this by people who just care about the size of the pieces. But if you're just looking for a basic review unrelated to the brand itself from a grill dad. This charcoal burns like a champ. It got hot and it stays hot. I cooked lunch and dinner with the same bed of coals. I've cooked hot and fast, and smoked ribs low and slow it's versatile and the smoke is nice pretty clear/white. So, if you're like me. I'd say try it for yourself and grab a crisp bag from the pallet. If your not a size purest I'm pretty sure you'll love it.

Good Charcoal

I’ve been using this charcoal since early this year and it has been a great product. It burns clean and hot which is what I look for in a lump charcoal

Great charcoal, 5 Stars

Love this charcoal. Worked as advertised, burns hot, lasted a long time and cooked evenly. All natural and a great value. When I was done with my cook, closed the vents and restarted as the base for my next weekend BBQ.

Less is more with TGCC!!

This stuff is awesome. I saw some reviews compaining of the size of the lump. But with this premium acacia lump you need less and can still burn hotter! This is the only charcoal I use on the SCA and Lonestar BBQ trail!

Superior Lump Charcoal

The Good Charcoal is a premium lump charcoal. It burns clean, hot and last a long time. As a competition BBQ Team, we always strive to use top quality products and The Good Charcoal checks that box. I have used all the major brands of lump charcoal, but none of the compare to this product.

Good Needs Good Charcoal!

The Good Charcoal is an exceptional product, burning hot and long. We use it for all of our home and competition cooking. In fact, we won our first Grand Championship the first time we used it! The Good Charcoal company is also an awesome company. Not only is their product sustainably resourced, they also work with food banks across the country to feed American families. We can't say enough good things about them and highly recommend their charcoal.

The Good Charcoal is Good Charcoal!

I've used this lump charcoal over the past few summers, in multiple competitions and home cooks with zero complaints. It burns long and hot. On top of the product itself, it is nice to support a company that supports and gives back to the community.

Not bad

Good charcoal but about 25% of several bags so far have been crushed and almost unusable as it falls through the chimney.
