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.

It burnt faster and quicker

It was much better than Kingsford charcoal

Nice charcoal, better than expected.

Good burning charcoal, little or no residual ash, burns a little fast, had to add more, size of lumps a little too small.

Good stuff for the price

Natural charcoal that lights quickly and burns nice and hot in an old style Webber Kettle grill. The best way to cook steaks, burgers and chicken.

Small pieces like bags have been thrown around

I have purchased this coal multiple times. It tends to be broken with many very small pieces. I will likely not purchase this again.

Hi Tom, We’re sorry to hear your recent bags didn’t meet expectations. Our charcoal is made from dense Acacia bushes rather than old growth trees, which naturally results in a mix of piece sizes designed for steady heat and reduced flare ups. <br />We’d like to learn more and see how we can help improve your experience. Please email us at Hello&#64;TheGoodCharcoal.com and one of our US based team members will follow up personally to make it right.<br />The Good Charcoal Team

Great charcoal

Purchased the lump charcoal, because I had heard it burns hotter and cleaner than standard briquettes, they weren’t kidding so glad I made the switch to lump charcoal!

Good deal for the price

Good brand of lump charcoal. Uneven chunk sizes but adds good flavor to food. Holds heat and burns pretty. Used chunks can be used again rather than thrown out.

Great charcoal.

easy to start with some paper a a charcoal chimney starter. Then it burns very hot and consistent. Very little ash remains. Not an overpowering taste to grilled foods.
