The Good Charcoal is Great!

The Good Charcoal burns long and hot and is our preferred charcoal for all of our competition BBQ cooks as well as home grilling. It's made of pure acacia wood, is sustainably harvested and is 100% chemical-free. All that and now they have new larger bags with handles at a lower price. It's a great value for a premium product!

Not so good

I'm not one to complain but purchased this The Good Charcoal Lump last week from Sam's Club and the Lump size is less than a quarter coin in size, there was several pieces about 2" but I have never seen Lump charcoal like this, 3" of Lump dust in the bottom of the bag. Trying to light this Lump in a Chimney starter on on the grill grate much of this Good Charcole Lump falls through the grill grate or Chimney . Sorry for the negative review but it's just the truth, hopefully your company will outsource large wood pieces in the future.

No good.

I have unfortunately purchased this lump charcoal several times in hopes that I just got a “bad bag”. But consistently, the entire bag seems as though it’s the end of the bag. All the pieces are small and it takes forever to get it to start. I won’t be buying this brand ever again. I was very disappointed.

My husband loves the char - I love the ecofriendly

I bought this charcoal after someone in my office forwarded me the article from the Washington Post last summer about how eco-friendly the Good Charcoal Company has become - saving cheetah population (I've been obsessed with cheetahs ever since I was little and then we went on safari). The charcoal is a really great all-natural option and doesn't have the overwhelming flavor of other lump. I read somewhere that pieces were a little smaller, but my husband said that he was really happy with the charcoal and our family loved our Easter BBQ. We didn't even use as much as we thought, and brought some over to our neighbor the next weekend.
