Charcoal dust

The bag had more dust and tiny pieces of charcoal than lumps.

Lump Charcoal

This product is broken into extremely small pieces and doesn’t burn properly.

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Hey, thanks for the feedback and we&#39;re sorry to hear this.<br />What you&#39;re describing doesn&#39;t sound like a typical experience with our charcoal and we&#39;d love to get to the bottom of it. Our charcoal is 100% hardwood Acacia with nothing added, so pieces will naturally vary in size, but extremely small pieces affecting the burn is something we want to look into.<br />Reach out to us at hello&#64;thegoodcharcoal.com with a few photos and the Sam&#39;s Club location you picked it up from and we&#39;ll take care of you from there.

Buy if you like dust size clumps

All small to dust pieces, no large clusters. Very disappointing.

Hey Jaime, thanks for the feedback and we&#39;re sorry to hear this.<br />What you&#39;re describing doesn&#39;t sound like a typical bag of ours and we&#39;d really like to look into it. Our charcoal is 100% hardwood Acacia, natural with nothing added, which does mean pieces vary in size naturally. But dust and very small fragments throughout an entire bag suggests something may have gone wrong in handling before it got to you.<br />Reach out to us at hello&#64;thegoodcharcoal.com with a few photos and let us know which Sam&#39;s Club location you picked it up from. We want to make this right for you personally.

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Hey, thanks for the review and we appreciate you giving us a shot.<br />Lump charcoal by nature is going to have a mix of sizes since it&#39;s 100% hardwood Acacia with no fillers or binders shaping it into a uniform piece the way briquettes would be. That said we do hear you and if what you received felt consistently undersized we&#39;d love to take a closer look.<br />Reach out to us at hello&#64;thegoodcharcoal.com with a photo or two and let us know which Sam&#39;s Club you picked it up from. We&#39;re real people on the other end and we want to make sure you&#39;re getting the best experience possible with our charcoal.

Small pieces 😞

It says lump coal but half the bag are small pieces that goes through your bottom grill. Quite frustrating to use

Good not great lump charcoal

Good lymphatic but not great. Not very many large chunks. A lot of medium and way too much small pieces. However it’s a great value.
