Flavorless charcoal

Not as good as the Mesquite Cowboy charcoal you used to carry

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Hi Delaware Member,<br />Thank you for giving The Good Charcoal a try. Our lump charcoal is made from 100 percent Acacia hardwood, sourced from invasive bushes rather than old growth trees. This dense wood creates a clean, even heat and a naturally mild smoke profile, which many grillers like because it lets them add their own flavor with wood chunks or chips.<br />If you prefer the bold mesquite taste, we understand that our milder flavor may feel different. For a stronger smoke profile, you can layer in mesquite or hickory wood chunks, and our team is happy to share tips if you’d like, or we just might not be the charcoal your looking for, either way feel free to shoot us an email at Hello&#64;TheGoodCharcoal.com and a member of our US based team will help.<br />The Good Charcoal Team

Don’t care for the product

I have purchased this a couple times and was disappointed. The charcoal was crushed.

The name fits!!

Awesome Charcoal. I’ve been using it exclusively for the last year and a half for competing, catering and home use. Amazing product!
