Best lump charcoal ever!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far our new favorite lump charcoal. The smell and flavor were outstanding. It’s a little on the pricey side but well worth it. It started quickly in a charcoal chimney. It burned evenly. We cooked breakfast for dinner and it turned out amazing.

Good Charcoal

I do enjoy using this lump coal. It works great for my needs,but can sometimes have a lot of smaller chunks that fall through my grates. It is especially great for ceramic grills or open fire cooking. Plus, the company has great community support which earns it that final star!

It’s a win win with this clean charcoal!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love how this charcoal is chemical free and made of hard wood. You don’t get the nastiness of other charcoal all over your food. This charcoal also helps a problem in Africa called “bush encroachment,” which is an overgrowth of acacia trees, which threaten grasslands. So by buying this, everyone is actually helping the environment in Africa and helping their families consume less chemicals! Win win!

Doesn't burn hot

Pros: - the smoke flavor of acacia is nice, especially with chicken or fish. - not a lot of white smoke. - sustainable Cons: - leaves behind a ton of ash compared to other lump wood types like oak or hickory. - struggles to burn hot in a kamado. Other lump types do much better for high temp or maintaining temp.

Natural Charcoal, Who Knew!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like that this is a natural charcoal because sticking close to natural products is so important for our family. I had no idea this was even a thing. I will say the black bags make it very hard to see how much charcoal is covering the bag when picking it up, watch your clothing! Overall happy with this product.

This isn't GOOD charcoal it is GREAT charcoal

Heard about this charcoal last year on the competition BBQ trail. Several teams talked about how clean it burned and really liked they flavors. I decided to try it, and they were right. This charcoal burns clean and holds temperature very consistent even on a 5+ hour cook. Very little ash so clean up was a breeze as well. This will be my go-to charcoal from now on.

Long burn and great packaging

[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.

My new go to charcoal

Have been looking for a clean charcoal and feel as though I have finally found it. Lights quickly and love that it is sustainable. Offers an easy, not over the top smoky taste too. A bonus that this company is giving back to those in need too. It will be a staple at my next bbq.

Bomb.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I know this sounds funny but the charcoal tastes great. I made butterfly chicken. The aroma filled our backyard as well as the neighbors. They said they haven't smelt anything so tasty. We had to make extra for the neighbors. Hence THE HUGE bag, there was enough for everyone !! It was a hit !
