The Best Lump charcoal in Stores

My relationship with this Charcoal is very personal sourced from Namibia with the goal of preserving plant environments native to the Region and stimulating the local economy this is the gift that keeps giving also the cleanest charcoal and hottest charcoal that 8 have used. I will support it forever and what it represents.

An excellent premium option of charcoal without c

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Good Charcoal Company Lump Charcoal (27.5 lbs) lights up quickly for a natural lump, and you can expect 2 or 3 hours of heat, the smoky flavor intensity is mild and pleasant and the best part no chemical aftertaste or additives! The ash is minimal making it easy to clean. The bag feels strong and well sealed.

Hi Thomas,<br />Thank you for letting us know about your experience. We have been proud to offer The Good Charcoal at Sam’s Club for more than two years, and each bag is made from dense Acacia bushes rather than old growth trees. This wood is naturally harder than oak or hickory and is designed to give steady heat with a clean burn and no chemicals.<br />What you describe sounds far from what we expect. If you would like to talk about the bag you received and how we can help, please email Hello&#64;TheGoodCharcoal.com and someone from our US based team will follow up with you directly.<br />The Good Charcoal Team

Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Burns hot, clean, and evenly—perfect for a solid BBQ. Love that it’s 100% natural Acacia hardwood with no chemicals. Less smoke, better flavor, and it lasts longer than other brands. Plus, it supports a good cause. Win-win!

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.

Game changing charcoal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This charcoal is such a good change, great for quick grills. Flavor is great and almost better than most plain charcoals we’ve used. Heat distribution is great and the burn time is ideal for an easy meal. Will keep using this, so happy to have been introduced!

Burns evenly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are always trying to find charcoal that works as well as the name brand one we usually use. This one seemed to burn evenly and is a good substitute for what we were using. Price was also a selling point.

Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So glad the weather finally warmed up and we were able to use this lump charcoal. Not a ton of airborne ash, great heat distribution, wonderful flavor profile. The packaging, however, wasn’t the best and tore slightly (I didn’t take off any stars for that though, because it may have happened in the shipping process)

A really good product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Made some outstanding steaks using this product tonight. I’m very impressed! Good and easy to use. Honestly most impressed with the burn time. Easily lit, easily maintained, good overall temperature composure. Would definitely recommend!

from Great To Rubbish

have bought many many bags of this charcoal and always happy with the quality. The last two bags were a complete disappointment. Two bags top to bottom were little fragments of charcoal. They are so small they either fall through the grate in the bottom or just clog it up and don't want to burn. Sent the maker emails but never got any response.
