Lump charcoal

Burns good but too many small broken pieces. Will not purchase again.

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Dear John,<br />Thank you for giving our charcoal a try. We’re glad to hear it burned well, though we understand your concern about the piece size. Our lump charcoal is made from invasive Acacia bushes, not old growth trees, which naturally leads to a mix of sizes. That mix helps create a steady even bed of heat without flare ups. Still, if your bag felt overly broken up, we’d be happy to send you another to make it right. Just reach out to us at Hello&#64;TheGoodCharcoal.com.<br />The Good Charcoal Team

Small Pieces

Not good for long smokes. Maybe useful for hamburgers. Pieces are too small for serious smoking

In my opinion

Nice big bag for great price here. Burns good like the combination of woods used.

Lump Charcoal

This (hardwood lump) African charcoal is just slightly worse than the mexican garbage they had before this. Ever heard of Royal Oak or Cowboy?

reply from The Good Charcoal Team

Hey Jeff,<br />We hear your frustration. Our charcoal is made from 100 percent Acacia, a dense invasive hardwood that burns hotter and cleaner than hickory or oak, with no chemicals or fillers. Every bag helps restore African grasslands by removing invasive species and supporting wildlife conservation, including bringing cheetahs back from the endangered species list.<br />We take pride in offering a pure and high-performing charcoal that delivers serious heat and clean flavor. If you’d like to chat more directly with our team or founders about your experience, we’re happy to help. Just reach out anytime at Hello&#64;TheGoodCharcoal.com.<br />The Good Charcoal Team
