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.

Great Charcoal!!

This is my first time using this charcoal, and I will use it from now on for home cooking and competition. Good Company lump charcoal burns hot and reliably. It is chemical-free, all-natural, and burns clean while helping the environment—look no further for your go-to charcoal. I highly recommend it. Glad I found a Charcoal that Checks all the boxes!

Update

I've updated my review for 2 reasons. If I could, I'd give 5 stars for customer service. This is a company that is serious about customer satisfaction. I don't know if I've ever encountered exceptional customer service like I have with this company. Very rare these days to find this effort in the owners no less! While I'm still undecided on the lump charcoal, I also used the charcoal briquettes and was extremely pleased with them I wish Sam's sold them and they are easily a 5 star product. I hope I can find them locally.

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Dear Bayou Dan,We appreciate your feedback. It sounds like the bag you received had more small pieces than expected, and that’s not what we want for our customers. If you’d be willing to reach out to us at Hello@TheGoodCharcoal.com, we’d love the chance to make this right.Best regards,The Good Charcoal Team

I’ll be using this now!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked using this in our charcoal grill, compared to others I’ve used. The packaging quality was top tier, the bag was very sturdy. Heat distributed evenly throughout the grill to cook the food evenly. Gave our burgers a great taste too!

My favorite charcoal from now on!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lump charcoal from the brand The Good Charcoal is a huge bag and weighs 27.5 pounds. This charcoal is made of premium Acacia hardwood and the bag will last me a long time. The first thing that I noticed as soon as I purchased was the handle on top of the bag. This makes it so convenient to move around, I have never noticed this with other charcoal brands. I really do like how the bag feels, its has a durable material and I can be sure it will not be ripped while storing. The bag was hard to open by hand so I had to use scissors. I also like that this charcoal brand is chemical free which is a lot more safe to use when barbecuing. It has a great clean burn with little ash remaining. This charcoal gets hot and burns clear and extremely efficient and effective allowing temperatures to burn longer. I also like that my eyes don't burn like with other charcoal brands while standing next to the grill. It also doesn't smell like regular charcoal. I really like that the meat comes out more flavorful and delicious. I would highly recommend this product and will continue using it, I think I found the perfect charcoal.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Good Charcoal 27.5 lb bag delivers a solid performance for serious grillers. Burn time is impressive, with coals lasting up to 3–4 hours depending on airflow. It provides a clean, natural wood flavor with moderate to high flavor intensity, ideal for both grilling and smoking. Ash residue is minimal, making cleanup easy, and the heat distribution is even, thanks to the consistent lump sizes. The packaging is sturdy and resealable, keeping the charcoal dry and ready to use. Overall, a reliable choice for high-heat searing and low-and-slow cooks alike

Less needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like using The Good Charcoal Lump Charcoal, and it burns very hot. I can use a little less than usual for smaller amounts of food that I plan to grill, so I don't need to use as much as I normally would. The lump charcoal is of a nice size and is made without any chemicals or additives. The bag has a handle added at the top for easy carry.

Not worth the frustration !!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a complimentary bag of The Good Charcoal from Sam’s and Influenster. It was. 27 lb bag. It seems like a good deal for the price, but it is not easy to light and the pieces are very small. They fall through the grate on the grill. It is very frustrating to use. I do not recommend this at all. It also did not recommend lighter fluid, but honestly, I should have used some. It may have made this test easier.

Mm

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t like to give bad reviews but this time I definitely have to do it I don’t know much about coals but according to my husband it’s one of the worst on the market, we got a sack with pure small pieces and powder hahaha as for the taste/smell it’s fine the ignition is good it’s fast but it consumes quickly due to years pieces it’s fine if you combine it with another coal or there’s no more
