[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time trying this and I had the pleasure on getting this from influenster and I must say I am very happy with how these coals perform.. They are not your regular charcoals this is actually wood and has a great smell and nice burn time. They last a while and it's great using a chimney starter for these coals..They take about 15-20 min to get fully ready and it leaves the meat a nice and smooth smoky taste..I highly reccomend this product as I have now switched to using these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used a lot of different charcoal brands over the years, but The Good Charcoal Company’s Premium Acacia Hardwood Lump Charcoal has quickly become a favorite. Right out of the bag, you can tell it’s high quality—large, clean pieces with no fillers or random scraps. It lights up quickly, burns noticeably hotter and more evenly than standard charcoal, and delivers a nice, clean smoke flavor without being overpowering. The longer burn time is a real bonus—perfect for when I’m doing slow-cooked ribs or smoking a brisket. I also really appreciate that it’s 100% acacia hardwood and sustainably sourced. It feels good to support a product that’s both high-performing and environmentally responsible. Whether you’re grilling burgers or getting serious with some low-and-slow barbecue, this charcoal gets the job done and then some. Highly recommended for backyard pitmasters and weekend grillers alike.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really good, clean burning lump charcoal with little ash remaining. The product gets hot and burns clear. Burns extremely efficient, allowing for stable temperatures during longer burn times. It's really helpful for those longer cooks. Impressive charcoal, to say the least! Definitely met my expectations.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This charcoal is not like the last charcoal I used. Previously had purchased the brick type of charcoal and I find it hard to light. I like the flavor of charcoal barbecue meat, but I have gotten away from it since it was more difficult for me. This charcoal has opened up a whole New World and we have broke out the charcoal barbecue. The bag was much lighter than it looked and the handle on top makes it very convenient. It opens easy and I do suggest you use something to scoop this out instead of your hands because it does transfer quite a bit and you get black everywhere. What is really nice is that it lights easily, I just used the clicker for a second and as you can see in one of the photos it already turned red. I also like that you can use a little or a lot depending on what you’re doing and how much heat might need and for how long.

I have to sadly agree with the others knocking this product. It's inferior to the Frontier brand Sam's sold previously. I didn't have a piece larger than a golf ball in the whole bag, which makes it completely unusable in a kamado style grill. This clearly isn't a transportation problem either as my bag was surprisingly full. The bags were filled with small pieces.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never used charcoal this great. It heats evenly all over which is a major plus for me. The ash cleanup is really easy and not super messy like other charcoals. It was packaged well in a very sturdy well made bag. I really enjoyed the flavor it left on our meats though. It was the best. Definitely will be buying it.

[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.

This stuff is terrible. The whole bag is small chunks, so getting enough airflow is almost impossible. If I leave my vents opened up for 20 minutes with any decent lump charcoal, it's at 700+ degrees. With this stuff, I'm struggling to maintain 250 after it's been lit for over an hour and a half. If you have a kamado style grill, then stay away from this stuff.

This is a great natural lump charcoal brand. You will not find a price this good in other big box stores. Outside of the price I am impressed with the quality of the product. I go through charcoal quickly with my frequent kamado joe cooking. This is a must have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This charcoal has so many good qualities. I made burgers using this. It lit so fast and heated evenly, which is important. It stayed lit, no issues. The burgers had a great charcoal grilled taste. This brand,The Good Charcoal, is made from acacia wood. This is 100% chemical free, great quality! This brand also supports the community, Feeding American in Needs. And simply, this bag is easy for anyone to carry to and from the grill to get started, it has a handle. I received this in exchange for my opinion
