Low quality "lump" charcoal

The pieces are very small with lots of dust preventing good airflow. TGCC has their ambasdadors fill out reviews and gives each a Sam's club membership. Most reviews here are paid for

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Dear Dave,<br />We’re genuinely sorry this bag didn’t meet your expectations. We take product quality seriously and are happy to send you a replacement or talk through any tips to help improve your cook. Our lump charcoal is made from dense Acacia wood, which burns hotter and cleaner than most, even in smaller pieces.<br />As for the reviews, we never pay for or script them. We occasionally gift product to real customers, but all reviews are written voluntarily with no requirement to leave a high rating. That kind of practice would be unethical and it is not something we engage in.<br />If you’d like to chat more or request a new bag, we’re always happy to help. Just email us at Hello&#64;TheGoodCharcoal.com and someone from our team will get back to you.<br />The Good Charcoal Team<br /><br />The Good Charcoal Team

Great charcoal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Good Charcoal Lump Charcoal was an easy to use product. I followed the recommendations on the bag for lighting and use. Our steaks turned out evenly cooked and delicious.

Slow burn, clean burn

We are a competition BBQ team and this is the only Charcoal we will use! Lights well, burns long, and clean. Not a bunch of garbage in the bag as we have found with some of the other brands we have tried. I think we have found a forever match!

Excellent choice for all your grilling needs.

This is a great lump charcoal. It's easy to light, creates a great sear on steaks and maintains its heat for a long time when I want to cook low and slow. I only wish Sams Club would carry their super briquettes as well.

Great Fuel with bigger chunks

Burned hot and held up very well. Very good amount of intact chunks of wood. Some companies practically give you shavings. Mellow smoke flavor, shouldnt overpower anything. Great value, I'll buy again

Easy to use charcoal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This charcoal is super easy to use. Easy to open and store packaging. It adds the right amount of flavor to your grilled foods. Burns slow and evenly.

It burns really hot and extreme clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The acacia hardwood is clean burning and really hot. It burns hotter so just need to use less so it's worth the money. One thing I don't like is alot of gravel size.

GOOD stuff

I just picked up this charcoal for the first time for the Fourth of July after seeing it on the Times100. I was not disappointed. I like their mission and my family liked the food I made. This is new go-to charcoal.
