Description

Kamado Joe 100% Natural Lump Charcoal is made from real trees so it burns clean and gives you a robust wood-fire flavor. Some other brands are made from scrap furniture or processed wood. This means less wood-fire flavor. Burns hotter for moister meats! Because Kamado Joe 100% Natural Lump Charcoal is made from hardwood, it burns hotter. This allows you to achieve steak- searing temperatures. Used in conjunction with a ceramic grill which insulates well, you’ll use less total heat to cook your food which means moister meats. Burns longer for better slow cooking! Kamado Joe 100% Natural Lump Charcoal burns longer thanks to the hardwood used to make it. Also, you’ll get the right mix of fast-starting small pieces and long-burning large pieces that will allow you to cook low and slow for extended periods of time. Other lump charcoals offer too many cheaper small pieces and not enough larger pieces. Costs less per use. Kamado Joe 100% Natural Lump Charcoal costs less per use because the hardwood charcoal burns hotter and the larger pieces burn longer. If you close the vents in your grill when done, you’ll also be able to re-use partially burned charcoal pieces.

  • Consistent charcoal size all the way through the bag
Size: 20-Pound Pattern Name: Charcoal
As advertise large pieces of charcoal used to use green egg charcoal, but will switch to this product now product is very consistent

  • Very little ash left after use.
Size: 20-Pound Pattern Name: Charcoal
If you watched a lot of youtube videos about lump charcoal like I did, one thing stand out. Ash content. This 20 lb bag produced less than one container of ash on my Weber 22 inch grill with Ash catcher. Very impressive. The chunks that were left after smothering the fire went back in my charcoal chimney starter and lasted two or three goes. ... show more

  • I save this for the slow smoke and use briquettes for grilling.
Size: 20-Pound Pattern Name: Charcoal
It's good charcoal, but I haven't seen even the bottom of the bag yet. (Where they slipp in the rocks in cheaper brands)

  • Mixed bag but really good stuff
Size: 20-Pound Pattern Name: Charcoal
Pieces in the bag I got ranged from gravel sized, to nearly football sized. That said the vast majority were roughly 3 to 4 times the size of a kingsford original briq. Really nice consistant heat and lights really easy. I used it in my offset smoker, burns a little quick but on par with B&B lump on burn time for the similar sized pieces, though it is more expensive. Whats got me, and I'll come back to this brand, is the smoke it puts off. Its clean. Clear blue smoke almost immediately on lighting, no waiting around for an hour for the smoke to clear, this stuff gets hot quick and burns clean. 1 star knocked just for the size inconsistency. ... show more

  • The description says “big block”, & they mean it
Size: 20-Pound Pattern Name: Charcoal
The description doesn’t lie, this product is big chunks of natural lump charcoal. I’ve bought this product several times now, & I like the performance, & unlike some other brands I haven’t found any rocks or other foreign debris mixed in. The rounder chunks average on the size of lemons to oranges, the biggest round chunks that I’ve gotten were about the size of grapefruits. The longer, narrower chunks are about the size of bananas to cucumbers. Of course some of these pieces get broken down in shipping & handling, but overall, there’s a pretty good consistency of large pieces. The charcoal is made from a blend of 4 hardwoods from Argentina that I had never heard of before, namely guayacan, guayaibi, mistol, & white quebracho, according to the package. Because of this, it doesn’t have a particular flavor profile that you would expect from a charcoal made entirely of familiar American hardwoods such as hickory or oak or mesquite, it’s flavor is more of a gentle generic smokiness. It burns very well, with a nice consistent heat over the course of the burn. For these reasons, I find it best suited to use for making a deep bed of coals in my Weber kettle when I’m cooking several rounds of food for guests, and also in my smoker as a nice consistent heat source after I have wrapped my meat and I’m no longer trying to impart any more smoke flavor. Overall, I’m happy with the product, have bought it several times now, & will continue to buy it in the future. ... show more
