[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was great. I’m used to regular charcoal, but I liked this brand. It was easy to start up and stayed hot the whole time we made our meat. I also loved the taste the charcoal gave the meat as well. The package was easy to open and I like the durability of the bag. I will definitely continue using this charcoal.

I bought originally a while back, mostly for the price. But I stayed for the quality. Like grilling and bbq onceyoy learn it and get it, well you get it. Burns hot when I want a hot fast cook. And will burn slow If I want to slow cook. Give it a shot. Best bang for your buck. And they have a great cause behind them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I went to purchase the The Good Charcoal Lump Charcoal I was expecting a smaller bag. . To my surprise it was a pretty good sized bag. It took no time at all for it to heat up. The coals are more like chips & hubby was afraid they’d fall through in the grill especially once they got to burning good, but they didn’t. Hubby cooked marinated pork steaks & they cooked perfectly. I’m not sure how or if the charcoal gave flavors because I use a very tasty marinade. The coals were nice & hot & more than an hour later they’re still burning hot! We usually use wood from our hickory bark trees we’ve cut down or fell. Hubby is very impressed with this charcoal & said he will definitely buy more. When we use wood it heats up fast but dies out too quick. This charcoal is great! I think hubby will be using this charcoal over the wood now! One pic is if the charcoal. The pic of the ashes is over an hour later after finishing cooking & eating. The pork steaks, the final outcome

I really like the concept of the Good Charcoal company. In this world sustainability is key, as is social responsibility. This charcoal does burn long and hot but doesn't really rage. It lights easily, has little smoke once going and burns so completely there is very little ash to clean out. The bag weight is great compared to other brands and for the price it can't be beat. So... why not 5 stars? Too many small pieces compared to the lump. Having said that no brand is perfect with lump size, unless you pay much more than you should have to for lump charcoal. This brand does have more than its share of small pieces, but unlike some posters I have had a decent amount of moderate to large sized chunks. When I get any bag of lump, I tend to sort through it separating the pieces roughly by size. This is because when I do those long cooks I really want the largest sizes available. The smaller pieces do not go to waste though because I can use them for a quick steak, chops, fish or chicken but I do agree with others that sometimes they fall through the starter chimney and some do fall through the grate. BTW I am using a PK360 grill or a SmokeMaster side box smoker. All in all then, I really like the product for value, quick lighting, long even burning, little ash and no disagreeable flavor added to the food. I definitely would like to see more lumps in this "lump" charcoal product, and fewer of the smallest pieces.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality of this charcoal is really good. The packaging was easy to open. The charcoal was very easy to light and it burned perfectly better than any charcoal I’ve used. The flavor was amazing it gave my meat and veggies a very nice smoke flavor. It burned very long and I didn’t have to do much to light it. I would recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lots of ash on the bag before I even opened it, which was a concern right there. It made me think there might be lots of small pieces, which there were, so I wasn't happy about that. I felt there were too many small pieces, so we added a second grate on top, and that helped keep all the lumps where we wanted them instead of having them fall through the grate. If you don't mind using a second grate, then this charcoal is just fine. Adds a mild smokey flavor to your BBQ foods. And our chicken cooked evenly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought The Good Charcoal Lump Charcoal initially because it was advertised as chemical–free. That was important to me for the amount of charcoal grilling we do. This charcoal was easy to light and seemed to burn hotter than the typical briquettes we have always used in the past giving better grill marks. As an added bonus, we enjoyed the slight wood flavor profile it added to our steaks. There was very little ash left, which also made it an easier cleanup for us.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Good Charcoal lump charcoal is different from what I’ve tried in the past. It’s lump shape instead of briquettes which I actually really like. What I love about this particular charcoal is that it is chemical free and there are no additive’s which is important to me when I’m using it to cook my food. We prefer cooking with charcoal because of the flavor and this gave our food good flavor and the food seemed to cook evenly and the charcoal didn’t burn out fast like some other brands. This is also such a good value! It’s only around $19 for a very large bag of charcoal, you can’t beat the price, I was so surprised when I picked it up because I didn’t expect it to be this big.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Good Charcoal Lump is a fantastic product for grilling aficionados who prioritize sustainability and performance. The high heat, long burn time, and clean burning qualities make it a pleasure to cook with. While the price might be a barrier for some, the environmental benefits and superior performance make it a worthwhile investment for those seeking a better grilling experience and a smaller carbon footprint. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a premium, eco-conscious charcoal option. The Good Charcoal Lump offers a compelling proposition for grilling enthusiasts: a sustainably sourced, high-performing charcoal that's both good for your food and good for the planet. After trying it out, I can confidently say it lives up to most of its claims.

My buddies that compete in BBQ use this stuff and love it. I also won a couple bags as a give away and they have preformed much better than other brands I have tried. I look forward to using it at a competition this weekend. The bang for your buck is top notch on this product.
