The burn quality was clean and hot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very low ash residue,the burn time is excellent the heat distribution was perfect don’t have to worry about burning my steak. The overall flavor it gave the food was yummy, the packaging stands out.

It's good charcoal

This charcoal burns hot and clean like most lump charcoals, but the coals are really small. It also has a lot of popping when it starts getting really hot. I've used it for two cooks so far and burned holes in both t-shirts worn those days from the popped embers landing on me. This is definitely not a charcoal you'll want to leave unsupervised when you're getting it up to temp. The flavor it imparts on the food is mild and good.

Lump charcoal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time using lump charcoal, and I’m seriously impressed. Compared to charcoal briquettes, this 27.5 lb bag of Good Charcoal burns hotter, lights faster, and leaves less ash. The flavor it gives food is noticeably better—cleaner and more woodsy, without any chemical taste. The pieces are solid and long-lasting, which made for a steady cook without constant refueling. The packaging is tough and durable, which is a nice bonus. I also love that it’s sustainably sourced. As a newcomer to lump charcoal, I’m definitely making the switch—this stuff is top quality.

Great Charcoal!!

This is my first time using this charcoal, and I will use it from now on for home cooking and competition. Good Company lump charcoal burns hot and reliably. It is chemical-free, all-natural, and burns clean while helping the environment—look no further for your go-to charcoal. I highly recommend it. Glad I found a Charcoal that Checks all the boxes!

100% chemical free is plus

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To start off I really wanted to try this because of all the good things I heard that this company does for the community. I love how the charcoal gives the meat a nice grilled flavor, the intensity of the burn takes some getting use to, I’m so used to chemically treated charcoal. Overall I would definitely recommend, especially if clean eating/cooking is a priority.

Best charcoal on the market

I bought originally a while back, mostly for the price. But I stayed for the quality. Like grilling and bbq onceyoy learn it and get it, well you get it. Burns hot when I want a hot fast cook. And will burn slow If I want to slow cook. Give it a shot. Best bang for your buck. And they have a great cause behind them.

Mm

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t like to give bad reviews but this time I definitely have to do it I don’t know much about coals but according to my husband it’s one of the worst on the market, we got a sack with pure small pieces and powder hahaha as for the taste/smell it’s fine the ignition is good it’s fast but it consumes quickly due to years pieces it’s fine if you combine it with another coal or there’s no more

Burns hot and longer! Clean charcoal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A large bag of 27 lbs, this chemical free lump charcoal burns hot and long. Used it for grilling and its smoky flavor in chicken was very good. Burnt longer and clean. With only little ash remains, it burnt for long and stayed hot for longer cooking. The pieces in the bag are mixed sizes.

Amazing products for the price

Love this stuff! I really enjoy how long is lasts and how hot it burns. It does not have a bad taste and I love how I;m not eating and consuming so much chemicals like the other brands. I love what the company stands for and I will be a loyal customer until I burn out in the flames.
