Natural Charcoal, Who Knew!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like that this is a natural charcoal because sticking close to natural products is so important for our family. I had no idea this was even a thing. I will say the black bags make it very hard to see how much charcoal is covering the bag when picking it up, watch your clothing! Overall happy with this product.

Great Flavorful Meats

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The heat burns evenly and stays hot well after the food has finished grilling. The ashes are about the same as you would see from charcoal briquettes but the flavor has a nice distinct grilled flavor. The products come packaged in a nice big bag filled With big quality lump charcoal.

Highly recommend!

Awesome! Long clean burn with minimal ash. I have a large pit, so most of the time I don't make it past 8 hours without a refuel. Initially I used about 2/3 of a bag, and I got a full cook on 4 boston butts and 3 briskets without adding charcoal. It provided a 14 hour burn before I shut the pit down. I'll definitely use this charcoal again and I highly recommend it. I also appreciate the handle.

Hi MPrince,Wow! Thank you for this incredibly kind words. We’re thrilled to hear that our charcoal delivered a 14-hour burn and kept your large pit going strong for such a big cook—those Boston butts and briskets sound amazing!We’re glad you like the handle, too! It’s a small touch, but we know it makes a difference with a big bag. The long, even burn time comes from our exclusive use of extremely dense hardwood acacia—no additives, sprays, or stabilizers, just the good stuff.Thanks again for recommending us. We look forward to being part of many more great cooks with you!Happy grilling,The Good Charcoal Team

It's ok...but not 'lump'

Picked up a bag yesterday to rry them out. Good smoke flavor and nice steady burn. My main comment is about the size of the charcoal... it's all samller bits and not nearly enough 'lumps'. If you're looking for something with larger chunks of coal , this might not be it.

Best out there

I have been using The Good Charcoal brand lump charcoal for a while now and compared to the others on the market it is amazing.. It cooks hot, holds consistent temperatures, and lasts a long time!! I haven't even touched my propane grill since I started using this charcoal. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a great product at a great price.

Good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy open package that you can easily close for reuse. The burn time was decent as well. We didn’t have to use a whole package to grill some burgers. The heat distribution is decent as well. I didn’t think the flavor was too strong since charcoal can be overpowering sometimes.

Quality charcoal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works well for cooking out on our grill. Price wise it is a little more expensive than other brands but not a lot. The package is nice and sturdy. The coals burn well and leave a nice flavor in the meat.

Very useful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very large bag to use for a good amount a time. If you are like me and my household, we grill all summer so this will last. Easy to Light and catches quickly. It is very slow burn so you don't have to change the charcoal out frequently. Great grill taste on food. It burns down well to allow easy clean up.

Worked efficiently at a study burning time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have both a charcoal grill and a gas grill. I usually use my gas grill because well for one reason it’s larger and my wife doesn’t like the taste of charcoal grill food as much. With that being said though, this bag of good charcoal, lump charcoal Works well and perfectly in my small charcoal grill. It burns long and not a steady rate, making my burgers cook evenly at a steady temperature. We added a couple Applewood chips into it as well for extra flavor, but the flavor did not taste like I was eating charcoal, which is a plus.The ash residue was easy to clean.
