My New Go To

Ive heard good things about this charcoal and decided to give it a try when I was it at Sam’s. Burns nice and hot for a long time. Then noticed it helps feed Americans with every bag purchased. Sure doesn’t get better than that!

Good option

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The charcoal was a nice addition to what we’ve previously used. The purchased product did help add some flavor and seemed to have an even heat distribution.

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!

Good value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lump charcoal is perfect for your next back yard BBQ! It burns really well and clean. This helped me bring my smoked foods to a whole new level.

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

Only Charcoal I'll Use!

This is the only charcoal that I have used in the past 3 years! It burns great (and long) and I love what the company stands for as I believe they are the only certified sustainable charcoal company out here.

Of course it's from africa

Full of PLASTIC, ROCKS, BALLS OF TAR. Lots of unburned plain wood too. Absolute garbage.
