[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this product. When placing the coal into thw bbq. They did not leave as much residue on my hands like I thought it would. The heat that these held onto for grilling was amazing. Made grilling very quick and easy. It left a smoky oak flavor on the items we grilled, and the flavor was not overpowering. The packaging was perfect and a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be, which i also loved. These are perfect for the warmer weather and I will be purchasing all summer long. We do a lot ofngrilling in our house during the warmer months and these were perfect and very handy to have. I would highly recommend these to friends and family all summer long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the bag, we used it for the first time last night to make dinner and it was great. Very easy to use, gave a more natural flavor and it didn't take long to cook so I'm assuming higher heat intensity. I'd definitely recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lump, randomly shaped, charcoal smells good, right out of the bag, like cooking wood. The top pieces are large, smaller in bottom, issue need to put it in a tub to sort through for what might be best for a given fire. It lights REALLY easily (used fluid), unlike other lump the burn lasts really long. Worked much better than regular charcoal in damp conditions. We usually buy store brand charcoal, this is just slightly more expensive in 16 lb size comparison, at 8lbs, its a bit more expensive. Should work well in our smoker (with wood added).
