... and yes, I'm aware.

[Argoboy]

I am still going to make my own charcoal.

[DavidNorcross]

Wondering about this one. Meathead is a household name in the cooking space. It truly appears they are spinning off that name. I am not suggesting any trademark or branding infringements here, but that could be possible for sure. However, I am just questioning the name in general and wondering why. Just thinking outloud here to be honest.

It is obviously not Meathead and he is not involved as it is Meat Head instead. I would not be surprised if they are aware of Meathead but I doubt Meathead has legal recourse here just as I would have no recourse over my legal name. If the website was offering smoker reviews and advice, then that might be a more questionable area.

[pkadare]

again, yes, I'm aware.

[Huskee]

We definitely need another brand of charcoal.

[Troutman]

LOL

[FireMan]

Huskee , yes another brand of charcoal, yes!
FireMan Charcoal! I do have a passion fer grillin & fer smokin! AND fire is my name, or at least half of it. AND as Huskee says, we need another brand of charcoal. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
FireMan Charcoal. Has a nice ring to it. Available in gas stations near you.
P.S. Meathead can have the lump, I’ll take the briquettes.

[BBQPhil]

FireMan is a better name than Meat Head for charcoal IMO.

Archie Bunker made famous "Meathead" but those were the days.

[Huskee]

That's how our Mh got the nickname.

[Papa Bob]

CANCELLED, you cant say that any more 😎😎😎

[Murdy]

"those were the days" -- I see what you did there

There's no way Meathead would put a Kamado type grill as the header image... ;-)

While we’re marketing our own charcoals, USMCCrashCrew charcoal is sure to be a hit. Lump soaked in JP-5 for that extra easy light and impressive fireball! The JP5 makes everything taste like crayons.

It is almost certainly infringement, but probably isn't worth the time and effort to pursue it.

[Potkettleblack]

I suspect he doesn’t have a case against local burger chain Meatheads either.

I don't think it's an issue for Meathead. But if someone makes a website called Amazingchicken.com or Amazingbeef.com, then it's time to rally the forces. In fact, buying those domains ahead of time might be worth the hassle.

Too late on the url's

[SmokingPat]

Is AmazingTofu.com taken?

[DavidNorcross]

Nope... available. Have at it!

[Jared49]

So, I’m curious after all the discussion about the name, has anyone tried this charcoal?

[briano52]

OK. Somebody had to go first and try the Meat Head Charcoal. I bought the two 22 lb bags for $64.98. Free shipping to California. I will try it and report back. The website made it sound good. Not cheap but not all that spendy for high end lump with, hopefully, not much dust or tiny pieces.
