Best Tasting charcoal.

I love this charcoal. I have went through two bags already! Ive not had any problems with temps getting out of control, and the acacia wood adds a great flavor. ive used it in a gravity feed smoker and a drum smoker. 5 out of 5 cant wait to use it on the competition trail this year and in the backyard.

Burns hotter longer snd zero chemicals.

I have been grilling for decades and used so many charcoals. I have never seen a charcoal as good as Good Charcoal. It is the cleanest burn. No nasty chemical smell. I am actually tasting what meat is supposed to taste like. This burns hotter and longer. What is so amazing is that I have tested this product versus other charcoals and I need so much less charcoal for each BBQ

Thanks from a repeat customer

Really great, especially given that it's great for the environment. Definitely does what it says-- burns hotter. I noticed my hotdogs and burgers got that perfect char and my kids loved the weekend grill! Great lump. The bag is also great and easy to load into the cart, trunk and get back home. My husband and I are repeat customers and love Sam's club and are glad they carry The Good Charcoal.

Not worth it

Mostly broken pieces smaller than most rocks with intermittent twigs. Have to line my drum smoker basket with briquettes just so they won't fall through the grates. Terribly hard to get lit but they are somewhat decent once they are. Won't be buying another bag after this though.

Hi Bryan,<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to share this. If you found stones in the bag, we’re sorry you had to deal with that. Please email us at Hello&#64;thegoodcharcoal.com so we can take care of you.<br /><br />On where it’s made, you’re right that it’s not produced in the USA. That’s intentional. We source hardwood acacia from regions where it’s invasive, so we are removing wood that needs to be cleared, instead of cutting healthy US forests. That approach is also why our charcoal is FSC certified (the Non-Profit Forest Stewardship Council). It lets us use one super dense hardwood, rather than blending multiple softer woods, which would mean a weaker burn and a bigger environmental impact.<br /><br />Our team is based in New York, and we’re proud to run Doin’ Good programs that help provide thousands of hot meals to families right here in the US.<br /><br />From The Good Charcoal team
