great product

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!

Bought for big green egg

Love it

While this charcoal might not have the largest chunks, there are plenty of reasons to like it. This stuff burns hot and long. The pieces are closer consistency in size to eachother, so you likely will not have to move it around during long cooks. Every piece of this charcoal will burn! I've gone 16 hours at 250° with two chimneys of this lump in my kamado. I will definitely continue to buy bags!

Good charcoal, burns hot and has nice aroma. My complaint is that there are lots of small pieces that will fall through your grate unless you have a fine screen to catch them all. Not sure if that's a Sam's second quality vs other stores as I have seen other reviews with what looks like consistently large chunks. My experience has been golf ball size or a bit smaller for average piece size. This may work for a standard BBQ but is less than desirable for a smoker (using a kamado Joe). I really want to like the company cause of what they do and how they operate but the chunk size is just not big enough. I would grab this if I couldn't find my normal charcoal and needed to grill right away.

The best lump charcoal on the market! I absolutely love using The Good Charcoal when I cool at home or work. It burns hotter and cleaner than any I've used and I love that the company helps out communities all over the United States! I use it everyday!

Had a stall with a full box of ventilated charcoal that was not burning hot for me. This charcoal needs a lot of air to get hot and did not seem to spread fire unless in the chimney. Try it, hope it works better for you. Background comparison; I use Kingsford original and Diablo Mesquite; standards are high but stakes are high too!

My family and I have used many brands of charcoal before, but after trying The Good Charcoal I don’t see myself using anything else. I picked up a bag after reading what was advertised on the front and was impressed. I was initially worried about the size of the chunks after reading some of the reviews but found it not to be an issue when grilling. They last a LONG time. Love that they support local communities, and that the product actually comes from an invasive bush they are removing to support the survival of wildlife.

Clean, hot and efficient! From starting my first chimney of coal, I noticed that it didn’t give off a lot of bad dark smoke like other brands and briquettes do. Then in about 15 minutes my coals were ready to dump! Much faster than others and it made great sear marks on my steaks! When I used it to smoke, I used about 2lbs with some applewood, and after 9 hours there was still about. 3/4 of a pound left! Best deal available in charcoal. The pieces, while smaller are fairly consistent for lump compared to others where I would pull out pallet pieces or half a log!
