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.

Best charcoal I have used

I started using this charcoal and everyone that has had my burgers and steak from the grill tell me they are the best burgers they have had and loves the steak. Cooks at perfect temperatures.

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Hi Charles,<br />We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.<br />Our lump charcoal is made from solid hardwood acacia and is built specifically for grilling and BBQ. With natural lump, pieces won’t all look identical, but the performance comes from the density of the wood itself. When fully ignited, it’s designed to produce strong, steady heat for cooking.<br />We’d like to learn more about what you experienced and make this right. If you’re open to it, please email us at Hello&#64;thegoodcharcoal.com and our team will take care of you.<br />From The Good Charcoal team

Best for grilling!

Best for grilling or smoking. Much better and longer lasting than charcoal briquets.

Lump (Pebbl) Charcoal

Most of the "lump charcoal" are little pieces. Very disappointed

Size of charcoal!

Was excited to try wood based natural charcoal. The charcoal pieces inside the bag are so small they burn out and become ash too quickly. So you need to keep adding coals as you cook, which is not an easy process. Need to have bigger pieces to last the whole cookout. The smoke smell and flavor was good. I would not buy again as is but if the pieces are big ones I buy again. Unfortunately the bags are not see through, so you donot know what you are getting!

Dear Observer, Thank you for your feedback on our 100% hardwood Acacia charcoal. We’re glad you enjoyed the smoke smell and flavor. We're sorry the size of the pieces didn't meet your expectations. Our charcoal is designed to maintain consistent high heat and long burn times due to the dense Acacia wood we use. If you're open to it, we'd love to demonstrate our product’s effectiveness further. Please contact us at Hello@TheGoodCharcoal.com to discuss a new bag that better suits your grilling needs.
