Small chunks

Very bad, it has small chunks, hard to ignite it.

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Hey Hector, thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear this one let you down.<br />A bag full of small chunks isn&#39;t what you should be getting, and that usually means it took a rough ride in handling before it reached you. Our charcoal is 100% hardwood Acacia with nothing added, so pieces vary naturally, but mostly small stuff can make lighting tougher since there&#39;s less airflow to get things going.<br />Send us a few photos at hello&#64;thegoodcharcoal.com and let us know which Sam&#39;s Club you picked it up from and we&#39;ll get you taken care of.

Good Charcoal was Great!

I've used Good Charcoal for several months and have been very pleased with the charcoal performance. While the charcoal lumps are a little smaller than other brands, they are consistent in size. They also burn long and with consistent heat output. I have cooked briskets/pork shoulders at low temps and pizzas at high temps. Great performance overall. Also, the love the carry handle at the top of the bag which makes it easy to move the bag. The 27.5 lb bag is also nice while most others are 20 lbs.

100% Recommended

This charcoal is AMAZING! I love that this bag has a handle for this big bag. It's very easy to tote. The charcoal it's smells wonderful. Yeah, there were some small pieces but that happens with other bags also. My bag had lots of full wood pieces. They were like limbs from a tree. I have definitely found my go to brand.

Great Charcoal from The Good Charcoal Company

The Good Charcoal Company produces great charcoal. This stuff burns very hot and very clean. I love that the lump charcoal is very consistent in size and makes it easy to load my smokers and grills. It doesn't matter if you cook low and slow or hot and fast, this charcoal will perform great.

Burns Hot, Friends and Family LOVE IT!!

I have been using this charcoal for several months and greatly enjoy every bit of it. The charcoal burns very hot and is easy to use compared to other brands. I enjoy having friends over for a good BBQ several times a week and they always compliment the flavor left on the meat from the wood smoke. I will continue using The Good Charcoal for the rest of my backyard ventures. I am also a big fan of the sustainability efforts put in place by the company. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to "UP their BBQ".

BUY THIS!!!!!

I am a true fan of this company and the brand! I will never go to another charcoal company. I see a lot of people are complaining about the size but there is a work around it. I had this issue and someone from the company helped fix it through DM. Will be cooking all summer with it! 🦾

Size of charcoal!

Was excited to try wood based natural charcoal. The charcoal pieces inside the bag are so small they burn out and become ash too quickly. So you need to keep adding coals as you cook, which is not an easy process. Need to have bigger pieces to last the whole cookout. The smoke smell and flavor was good. I would not buy again as is but if the pieces are big ones I buy again. Unfortunately the bags are not see through, so you donot know what you are getting!

Dear Observer, Thank you for your feedback on our 100% hardwood Acacia charcoal. We’re glad you enjoyed the smoke smell and flavor. We're sorry the size of the pieces didn't meet your expectations. Our charcoal is designed to maintain consistent high heat and long burn times due to the dense Acacia wood we use. If you're open to it, we'd love to demonstrate our product’s effectiveness further. Please contact us at Hello@TheGoodCharcoal.com to discuss a new bag that better suits your grilling needs.

Best for grilling!

Best for grilling or smoking. Much better and longer lasting than charcoal briquets.
