Not good

Hardly call this lump charcoal. These pieces are the size of lego pieces.

Our lump charcoal is meant to provide a variety of sizes, but it sounds like this bag didn’t meet that standard.

Not a lump charcoal, more like briquettes

This wasn't lumpy at all, lots and lots of very small pieces, very hard to use without wasting.

not worth it

Small pieces and a ton of dust, almost like the bag was run over several times.

Hey Clacknark, We're sorry to hear about your experience with our charcoal. While lump charcoal often varies in size, having too much dust isn’t what you should expect. We’d love to help make things right. Please contact us at Hello@TheGoodCharcoal.com so we can chat about resolving this for you.

Long lasting hot charcoal!

This charcoal came through with our chicken barbecue! Charcoal lasted til the last piece of chicken was barbecued! We had a big crowd of 50 people!

OK Lump Charcoal

OK Lump but nothing big. All smaller pieces. I prefer Cowboy or Frontier Lump Charcoal but they do not carry it or at least have not in a while.

Plastic!!

Bought a bag, when dumping it in my Kamado I found pieces of plastic string??? Doesn’t sound like “good”charcoal to me!!! (Won’t let me post pic)

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Hey Marcel, thank you for flagging this and we want to look into it right away.<br />Finding anything like that in a bag is not okay and not something we take lightly. Our charcoal is 100% hardwood Acacia and nothing else, so this is exactly the kind of thing we need to run down on our end to figure out how it happened.<br />Please email us at hello&#64;thegoodcharcoal.com. You&#39;ll be able to attach your photos there, and let us know which Sam&#39;s Club you bought it from and the batch info on the bag if you can find it. We&#39;ll take care of you and get to the bottom of this.

Disappointed in product

Product has too much trash in the bag and the charcoal is a lot of small pieces. I will not buy a second bag

We hope to hear from you so we can continue to improve our customer experience. Please reach out to us at Hello@TheGoodCharcoal.com so we can make this right.Best regards,Customer Service Team, The Good Charcoal

Fake

There was no lump inside the bag. It was all in small pieces and a lot of charcoal dust at the bottom. The other brand in the brown before was good.
