Hot Stuff

Hot stuff. Agree pieces are different sizes compared to my old-time favorites, but worked just as good or better, def less expensive too.

Too small

I should have read the reviews. The pieces are way too small for the egg. Will stick to Frontier in the future.

Best Charcoal at SAMS - HANDS DOWN!

Burns hot, clean, and lasts a long time! Love that it's all-natural with no chemicals. Perfect for grilling and gives great flavor. Definitely my go-to charcoal from Sam’s Club!

Charcoal Chips

I opened this bag for the first time and it appears to be nothing but charcoal chips. There are no "lump" charcoal pieces. Air flow through my smoker is poor as a result and it is taking forever to light.

Doesn’t start lit!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a bit disappointed that this charcoal does not stay lit. The packaging is okay, but it just doesn’t stay lit. I can’t speak on much else, as my fire didn’t last long.

Don't buy it

Charcoal is terrible. Pieces are so small about 30% falls through the grate. "Lump" charcoal in name only. I'm not sure there's 5 actual lumps in the whole bag. Two stars instead of one because It does smell good when burned

Superior flavor!

When it comes to a clean burning lump charcoal, look no further. I've tried them all, and no other brand gives me flavor like The Good Charcoal does. Run, don't walk, go get you a bag!

Burns hot!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Good Charcoal worked great! It is clean burning and it burns hot so you don’t need a lot! Less is definitely more! I would absolutely recommend this product!
