Stays hot

It stays hot very long! We burnt the charcoal at 2pm, and at 7pm, it was still hot and was able to use it.

Not That Good

The pieces are very small. Once lit, they do burn for a while. I found regular charcoal to be more consistent.

Great Flavor & Long Lasting

Burned hot and long! Great flavor on the meat. The fact that it's natural makes it even better. A great value for the size of the bag!

Very small pieces!

I can't stress enough how small the pieces were. You'll be lucky to find any pieces longer than 2-3 inches. I was so disappointed I tossed the bag after one use. Never buying this brand again.

Disappointing & Unsatisfactory

Mostly slivers and chards. Disappointing and unsatisfactory. Also, Bags are filthy on the outside resulting in charcoal dust all over me, my clothing and car.

HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

If you are looking for a screaming hot grill, this is the answer. We mixed this with regular Kingsford charcoal and it was HOT! Exactly what I needed for my medium rare steaks. Love it!

Burns well but pieces vary in size widely.

Burns well but lots of smaller pieces so I guess size uniformity is a little off. Bigger pieces are size of baseball, smallest size of pea. Probably shipping and handling is to blame for most of it.

Take your Lumps

Lump charcoal was highly recommended to me by a professional competitive grill chef about ten years ago. He was right. I seldom stray from using it and only do when my wife buys briquets then I mix it in with my lump.

Crushed too small

The “lumps” are really rather small pieces of crushed coal, which makes them burn out sooner. So your total available grilling time is cut short. I bought two bags - same result

Not a good product

This has not been a good use for me at all. I love grilling and have not been fond of this product one bit. Sadly, it just doesn’t seem good for me. Obviously, try it for yourself before you make a decision!
