Best Charcoal in the store

We have been using The Good Charcoal for a while now, we have realized this charcoal is the best by far. It burns longer and hotter and has an awesome natural flovor. Its the only charcoal we use now.

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.

Great charcoal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was happy to try this out this charcoal burns really well and it lasts a decently long time. The heat distribution is good and I love the Smokey flavor it gives the food you’re cooking.

Let it burn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some of the more effective charcoal I have used in my time! Good quality! Flavor of the meats taste good still! Not much ash residue flying around

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.

Burns well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The charcoal lit up fairly fast even without oil. It burned nice and evenly and didn’t have a burnt smell. Only complaint was the sizes weren’t all uniform. Some chunks were rather small.

Lumps are Too Small

Charcoal size is too small for good air flow and a long burn time needed for a brisket or pork butt. It might be fine for a steak but I will only use it as back up.

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Dear RDH4,Thank you for your feedback. We understand the need for proper airflow and long burn times, especially for larger cuts like brisket or pork butt. Our dense Acacia hardwood charcoal can burn hotter than the hickory, oak, or mixes used by other brands. Managing airflow is essential; too much air can lead to a faster, high-heat grilling experience. However, with the right airflow controls, you can also settle the charcoal at a lower temperature that will burn longer than many other brands. We recommend closely monitoring the air intakes on your grill and checking temperatures as you get used to our denser charcoal. With the right airflow management, you can achieve a consistent temperature across the grill while maintaining long, steady burn times. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your issue in more depth, please email us at Hello@TheGoodCharcoal.com.

Best Burning Charcoal

I have been using charcoal for many years. I have never used a cleaner and better burning charcoal like The Good Charcoal. It burns really hot and long. The bag also has a handle so that it is easier to carry.
