Awesome heat

Bought a bag of this and love how hot this burns, almost creating a white hot glow to it. Made for some great steak searing

Great charcoal!

This is my favorite charcoal to use. Burns hotter and longer than anything else. Absolutely love the new bag with a handle!!

Too much dust.

Burns OK but very high percentage of dust and small pieces which fall through the grill and are wasted. Would not buy again.

Uncle's Charcoal

Love this charcoal. No chemicals and no weird odors. The various shapes remind me of the charcoal my uncle used to use in the old days.

Don't waste your money on this charcoal, nothing but small pieces of charcoal. I filled a whole charcoal basket and lit it . When i came back, there was only half of the charcoal. If you are going for a long cook, don't use this.

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Dear John,Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Our 100% hardwood Acacia charcoal is designed to burn hot and efficiently, and its dense nature means it can burn at higher temperatures than many other brands. Proper airflow management is crucial; if left with unlimited airflow, the charcoal can burn very hot and quickly. We recommend closely monitoring your grill's air intakes to maintain a steady temperature for longer cooks. If you'd like to discuss this further or need tips on optimizing your grilling experience, please contact us at Hello@TheGoodCharcoal.com. We want to ensure you have the best possible grilling experience.

Disappointing Purchase

This is the worst lump charcoal I have ever bought. There are no lumps, only pebbles that obstruct the air passage holes in the bottom of the kamado grill. Sams doesn't need to sell this.
