Pieces are soooo small!

This charcoal burned well, but the pieces were so small I had to buy a new steel grate to keep them from falling though.

Not sure I will buy again.

The coal is good hardwood coal my bag was just full of mainly "chips"of coal. Makes it hard to get a good fire going or maintain a good coal bed.

Hi Ronald,<br />Our product is real hardwood lump charcoal made from dense acacia. a Invasive bush rather than old growth trees. Piece size can vary, but it’s built to burn hot and steady.<br />If you’re open to it, email us at Hello&#64;thegoodcharcoal.com and we’ll take care of you.<br />From The Good Charcoal team

Horrible Product

Second bag in a row that consisted of not a single piece bigger than an inch in size. Entire bag was nothing but smalls that made it difficult to use. Never again will I waste money on this brand.

Hey KMAC, Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about your experience with our product. It’s disappointing to learn that your recent bags contained only small pieces, making it difficult for you to use. This isn’t the quality we aim to deliver. Please reach out to us at Hello@TheGoodCharcoal.com so we can make this right.

Good charcoal… not great charcoal.

Not overly impressed. A fair amount of the charcoal is broken up in very small pieces that fall right through the chimney starter. Other than that it’s fine.

Best of the Best

This is the best charcoal I have ever used. It's very easy to light, and burns really hot. Perfect for steaks and long smokes. If you prefer larger chunks you might choose another brand. The chunks are small, but burn great.

Small pieces

The taste is there, but I can’t get over how small the pieces were. The smaller pieces burn way too quick. Quite a bit of charcoal was used to cook just a few steaks.

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Hey Jeb,Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the taste our charcoal provides. We understand your concern about the small pieces burning too quickly. With a dense charcoal like ours, managing airflow is crucial. Too much oxygen can cause the charcoal to burn too hot and fast. We recommend adjusting your airflow settings to ensure a more controlled burn that can last for hours. If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please contact us at Hello@TheGoodCharcoal.com.

Decent price

This is not the best hardwood lump charcoal but is ok for the price. Compared to other brands we've used for our Green Egg, it is messy. We have a large garbage can that we pour the bags into and store it in. When pouring, black soot was flying everywhere. It also smoked a lot more than other brands, there was a large amount of smoke coming from the grill before even adding food.
